Advice will differ depending on how humane you want to be (see "Mice" thread in this forum). I would say they are harder to get rid of than mice! Not very helpful I know. I would think professional help might be the order of the day.

we too have a mole. WE bought one of those contraptions that vibrate every 30 seconds, some success, but still have mole hills. Let me know how you get on - would appreciate advice too.

Perhaps you should try this as starting point: http://www.bpca.org.uk/

You could try one of these. It worked for me.[:)] [img]http://www.billywindsock.co.uk/railways/model-trains/download-pictures/22_56_26_paladin.jpg[/img] Prototype anti-mole device.

Apparently due to the wet Spring/Summer this has meant more earthworms and such like which the moles like to eat and DQ has indeed been plagued with Morrocan Mole! I believe they have very sensitive noses to smells and certain humane, natural smells can repel them, but I will need to consult DQ's father - who, being a keen vegetable grower seems to know what they don't like and may repel them away from your garden.. I will get back on the forum once known.. Then again, I am sure that there must be some information about this type of thing on the internet... I will report back once more as, whatever my dad did, our Mole has moved off!!!![:D]

Thanks everyone, I was just hoping that a local person/company would be suggested. I would happily ignore it, but a friend said that the mole may be causing more damage than I realise!

Morrocan Moles?

Windmills.....the kiddie type on a stick......stuck into molehills will vibrate, and are supposed to deter the little gentleman in black!

Interesting thank you all for the info, I think I might give the windmills a go first.Will let you know how I get on!!

any success with the windmills? Our lawn doesn't look great at the best of times and genuinely concerned about exactly how much soil is being removed from the structure round our house!

I have not tried yet, but will let you know. I have heard from a friend that calling someone in is quite expensive. Will avoid this method if I can. Our lawn is not fantastic either, which is why I ignored the mole's escapades!

I am not convinced that they can do that much lasting damage to a property and suspect the anecdotal evidence of that nature is perpetrated by those attempting to sell a service.
