Pesky Critters

[jonela]

I have had a mole at the wooded area at the bottom of the garden for some time ,but it never really bothered me as it stayed there under the trees in the long grass, but the cats caught one and brought it up to the house and let it get away.:doh now there are mole hills all over my lawn, the little ba***rd is making a right mess. The cats ,bless them are trying to re capture the escape with no success to date.
I tried to flush him out by putting the hose pipe down the run and flooding it,but that didn't work .
Next I tried mouse traps Baited with salami ( read it on't tinternet) covered with a shoe box. No luck:doh
It all reminds me of the the Jasper Carrot routine next its the office chair and a shot gun.:sly
Unless you know a way to get the little sh*t :nenau

Stand still with a spade, when you see the ground starting to rise, HIT the little shit :thumbs

If you have not got a trap, they hate moth balls, a few in his little run should push him away.

Isnt there something about planting an empty wine bottle in its run supposed to work. Think its supposed to be the noise of the wind blowing across the top of the bottle. Personally Id give it a go and Im happy enough to drink the contents for you too before you plant the bottle:lol

Something like that, a kiddies windmill stuck in the run makes a noise they don't like...

I'v tried the windmill thing before and it didn't seem to work. I really need to get rid of of it not just encourage it to move up the garden. It's WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE !:guitarist:

I wish I had moles to justify one, I just get to use them for my clients.......:thumb2

 

[Sweety]

If there is anyone in your area with working terriers the dogs should get mr mole as soon as he pops his head up:augie

 

[larson]

i used to catch moles.. i hunt rabbits and for some farms i would clean the fields of moles but only the nice farmers.. you want tunnel traps mate..

dont put traps in mole hills and a terrier can only get the mole if it pops its head out the top while said dog is there. chances are it wont be.. if the kids play in garden more mole hills will come and same again when it rains until moles are caught.

 

[jonela]

Thanks Larson for all the information and links etc that you sent me. You have been very helpful indeed and I was getting all excited about getting the little sh*t :clap. Unfortunately I have been given instructions from senior management with responsibility for cute furry things ,that the mole is to be taken alive :doh How this is gonna work I don't know,
Unless ! :sly

tell her its alive.. she dont need to know.. in uk its illegal to release live moles.. you catch it you kill it.. check french laws mate.

 

[frosty]

You want my 18 month old Jack Russell, she's like a dog with a bone :lol when she gets the scent of one, she's had a few on the canal bank, don't know how she kills them but only takes a couple of secs and there dead!! suppose it could be the shock that does it but not sure and she leaves them, luckily she doesn't try and eat them.

 

[johnb5177]

Actually they are nasty little creatures.....do not handle without heavy gloves if you ever do get one.......to my knowledge there are no `humane` mole traps.......detaupers are the way forward.......:naughty

 

[larson]

i think there might be some humane traps but not very good ones so iy could be a struggle to catch, espacialy as its the first..

i could be wrong as im not the best mole catcher..
