I have a pet mole on the allotment. He was there before me, so it's more his plot than mine. I don't think he's ever done anything too naughty. Maybe some are worse than others?

Well done 'goodlife'.
Moles are an absolute pain & are increasing in numbers every year. They're really starting to get to work now, a fellow plot holder is suffering & I haven't seen one on any of the plots before.
When I was mowing for the Parish Councils the little sods used to make my life a misery.
I used some very nasty stuff in the breeding season which helped but you can't win. If you know the habits of the little darlings, you would understand.

just seen the link ollie, well funny!!! ;D ;D i suppose they may go well pan fried with a little red??

For those who are having problems a trap from B&q 3.98.

moles are a big problem they eat all the worms & there tunnels act as ventilation tunnels so any root crops will fail as the roots get into the tunnel  they are not getting any water/food at all.

The mole was cremated this afternoon in the incinerator with some wood & 4 rats

You know those singing Cards?  Start the music and stick the card down a mole run - they hate it.

We've got moles, but they don't seem to cause any real problems and teh mole-hills make good additions to potting compost. I quite like having them around but What should I look out for in terms of damage?
