I see that Ken Cooke has noted mole activity in his report today. Over
the past week my wife and I have spotted mole activity everywhere
we've been on a massive scale - apart (touch wood) from our garden.
Is this in response to the frosts we've been experiencing?

David Mitchell. 2m bsl. Minor hill top. Tunnelshire.


Same here. B***dy things are making a huge mess of my met enclosure.
The yhave a 5 acre field to play in and they have to dig up my
enclosure!

OT sure, but if anyone knows a foolproof (preferably fairly humane)
way of discouraging the blighters let me know please ... I bought a
solar-powered mole scarer a couple of years back, that seemed to do
the trick for a while, but now it/they dig holes right next to it.
Grrr!!


I have a battery powered tube thing that emits a noise every minute or so,
it reckons it simulates a distress call.
Got it at a garden centre. Works a treat, as I have moles in the paddock but
not in the garden.
I used to trap them but that was rather upsetting disposing of the
carcasses.
