    A few weeks ago I posted a request for help on getting rid (without killing) of moles from a lawn. There were several suggestions, most of which I tried. Thanks for all of them

    The one which appeared to work was the one where we had to stick an empty upturned bottle into each mole hill so that it entered the tunnel. The wind noise is then supposed to scare off the mole.

    The main advantage of this method is the fun you can have while preparing the bottles for use.

    Thanks once again for all suggestions.

    Cuddly aren't they?

    Evil? Spell it backwards and you will see how I prefer moles to remain, even at the expense of my lawn.

    It's a bit much, though,

    When they turn up for work dressed like this!
