Question from a newby
On Mon, 12 Jan 2009, Kathy wrote
Thanks for all the advice. We don't really want to resort to traps, and it may be pointless as there seem to be rather a lot on the site, which is why we want to discourage them from our plot. Some one suggested dropping cat poo down the holes, which might work, but we'd only want to do that on the ones on the path. Our other problem pest is rabbits. So, if we can find a way of turning vegitarian rabbits into mole hunters, we've got it made :-} We had fairly good results in our garden in the Dordogne - on a rocky slope with not very much depth of soil - with a product made by Caussade, small batons of black smelly stuff that you poked into the mole tunnel. You have to keep an eye out and do it when the hill is fresh, but it has kept them at bay quite well. Mind you it's only a small patch and access is limited to a narrow grass way between stone walls, so provided we can keep the entrance clear, they can't get any further. The Caussade site seems to be down at the moment, hope it will come back. -- Kate B PS 'elvira' is spamtrapped - please reply to 'elviraspam' at cockaigne dot org dot uk if you want to reply personally |
