I have a mole at the top of my garden. The first hill appeared about 10
days ago and the second, nearby, a couple of days ago. Both in lawn.

What should I do? Our garden is intended to encourage wildlife but hills
all over the grass doesn't seem to me to be a friendly hello from a
visitor. Do the sonic repellents work or do I have to insert a trap in a
tunnel and take it far away?

If you want to get rid of the mole read this before you do anything...

Good article.

Like I said, given that they eat worms, hope for a hard winter that
kills the worms.


And harms the soil? I don't think, so thanks!

They will come back.

They breed faster than the moles ;-)
