Hi. Have just googled re. stopping moles from entering a lawn,
tunnelling all over the place, and creating these quite large mole-hills
of crumbly earth. There appear to be all sorts of devices, ranging from
a "solar-moler" (£20) that supposedly deters moles with sonic vibration,
to a medieval-looking thing called a "scissor trap".

Our house has two large fields on either side and both fields are FULL
of mole hills. The farmer doesn't seem to mind - probably because he
only uses the fields as grazing for his sheep. So we are always going
to have the threat of invasions from both sides. We have only been here
six months and its only in the last week that we have had the first
invasion. First, one pile of fresh earth, then another about two feet
away, and today a third nearby. It's probably just one mole. I don't
know how the previous owner deterred the little devils, but I need to
find an effective long-term solution quick.

So, I thought I'ld ask everyone here what REALLY works. The
"solar-moler" is supposed to protect "over 600sqm/750sqyds". But in UK
weather conditions does it get enough solar power to do that?

Eddy.
