Bloody Moles.....

For the last 4 days, we've had a mole hill turn into a full tunnel. Yesterday, another mole hill, then again this morning - then 2 hours later - another!

I even took a video of the soil moving after I tried spike the bugger with a pitch fork, but because it had dug next to the stone flags - the spikes hit concrete and stones!

Anyway, just been to buy a Duffus trap - so going to try that!

This is the mess it's made this morning!

Dynamite works well...

think tremors  :p

So, got a trap - jesus it's brutal. 2 mechanisms that take all your strength whilst you set the holding pin - nearly took my fingers off twice!



Then I eventually found the tunnels after 2 digs - and it's all set...fingers crossed the bugger works!

Just think what it'll do that poor mole's neck if it's nearly maimed you already. RIP moley.

I know. I'm a wildlife lover as you all know - however, the mess it's made of the garden in a few days and the fact that it still was digging up after I tried to spike it...suggests it ain't gonna stop.

It's all trial and error and the chances of me getting it are slim - but if I do, the farm cat will be fed well. 

You know you've got to post a pic of dead mole once caught don't ya.

That's the plan Den.....

You can't post a pic of a dead mole bluey. Maybe one of the cat after it's had its feast...

I'll post both....but I'm not holding my breath.

Woke up this morning, thinking I'd have a Mole in the trap....I found this massive Mole hill, approx 5 inches away from the trap.

Bastards taking the piss!

Yep.

Alas, I fear, the mole will lose the war.

I hope so!
