Our landlords Jack Russels (we lived on a farm) were sometimes very useful. We are now mole free, although our immediate neighbours report having moles. Regards Alan |

Actually there have been no new hills over the last few days here, so we may have one in one of the traps. -E |

You really should inspect your traps once a day at the very least - they don't always kill cleanly. -- Rusty |

My poor friend three miles away has been plagued by them in the past, she hasn't mentioned them recently, though. It's not the molehills she minds too much, it's the way they tunnel just under the surface of her lawn so the roots die. Tina |

Worse, if you have dug in some nice wormworthy manure/compost, and you water the tomatoes/marrows/w.h.y? well, first will come the worms, then the moles, and you have a row of dead or dying plants. Reminds me of when my godson's rabbit got out. The garden was well fenced, but rabbit liked burrowing. Rabbit went AWOL. I found the hole (Like the Channel Tunnel it was, for rabbit was of the variety 'Belgian Hare') beside the fence. Parallel with the fence on the neighbour's side was a line of cabbage seedlings about three inches high. As I looked over, one of them suddenly went underground... -- Rusty |

After much thought my friend now traps the moles, although she doesn't really want to. Does anyone remember Jasper Carrot about his mole? Tina so glad I don't have one.. |
