Hi,

I've been lurking for a bit, but now I've got a question to ask please.

My friend and I took on an allotment in November. We have started clearing
it, but have been invaded by moles! Any ideas on non-harmful ways of
discouraging them? We've asked them nicely to go and burrow through the
bits we haven't dug yet but they wont play.
TIA


Problems with moles is a question that pops up on this group frequently.
I've tried everything. The only solution that really works is traps.
Proper traps that kill the little buggers. Forget sonic repellents
herbal pellets, plants that moles supposedly dislike, cooking oil,
gassing with car exhaust fumes, and all that crap. Traps, traps and more
traps. It takes a little practice to set the traps too. I've been
struggling to get rid of moles for years. More or less did get rid of
them last year with traps, but this year they are back again; so it is
an ongoing battle.
