Hi everyone I live on the edge of woodland and so have many pests, such
as
slugs and snails, crawling up from the bush - but the worst by far are the
moles

I find it very sad that gardeners are so intolerant of moles. Certainly in
England they are one of our few indigenous mammals.

We make strong objections to native peoples of other parts of the world
not tolerating the animals they live among (think elephants and farmers in
India and parts of Africa), yet we persecute and exterminate our own more
humble wildlife.

Why not just be proud to have them in our gardens?

I wouldn't mind having them, I've never understood garders' dislike of
moles.
