Default How do I get rid of Moles?

Gavin Paton wrote:

This may be resurrecting an old subject but I have a huge problem with Mole
hills on my lawn in Brittany, France.
I have tried everything except poison, this I cannot use because I have
three dogs and would not risk their health.
I have found that mole hills do not appear in the parts of the lawns that
have been treated with "Weed & Feed". Does this product have an effect on
the worms in the teated areas or dirctly on the moles? If this is the answer
is it possible to make a weed and feed substitute as the commercial product
is very expensive here in France and my lawns cover a large area.
Any help and advise would be must welcome as would a recipe for weed and
feed.
Many thanks in advance
Gavin


Wee and Feed will certainly affect them. I had a problem with them.
I also had some black fungus on the fescue. I spread fungicide and they
didn't like that.It rained in the next few days .
Several came out of their holes and raced around screaming over the
next few days. I didn't know they could make a sound.
My daughter caught one and took it to school. She had to feed it
crickets etc every few minutes.
I guess the others went into the woods or died.
