So, I'm now using with great success, the above-ground traps, seen he
http://www.northerntooluk.com/produc...partno=168907E - not only
are they much easier to set but you can easily see when they have been
sprung without exploratory excavations. You don't need more than two
traps - and if you don't catch the varmits in a couple of days, just
move the traps to another fresh part of the mole tunnel network.

They look lethal! Do the moles get skewered? Do you need to excavate at all
or just push them into the ground? How do you know where to put them? I'm
keen to rid my garden and lawn of moles, they always home in on freshly
planted ground and uproot seedlings and cuttings. I've tried everything else
to get rid of them with not much success.
