The plants suffered badly.
We now have them on our "new" allotment, presumably because there are now
worms there, we having manured the ground well, and we now have a couple of
children's windmills stuck in the ground to try to discourage them. It's an
on old trick which has appeared to stop them coming onto the plot where the
windmills are. Will have to purchase some more to keep the whole plot mole
free and they need turning into the wind as it changes so they keep
spinning
and vibrating.
I can only imagine what some of our "new" allotment gardeners think. :-)

I've never found them to work - nor bottles buried with just a couple of
inches of open neck above ground.

A field full of (frisky) horses is best - but the vegetables tend to
suffer a bit.

A new product is on the market this year that we have just introduced http://gardens.taylorschoice.co.uk/p...llent_2kgs.php

You could try this and it is not harmful to the moles.
