Tiggs dont want to upset you mate but moles are Not solitary creatures, there are bound to be more. they normally live in colonies of 5 or more with 3 females a male and a younger male.the females can give birth every 18 days and the young are up and digging away within 3 weeks, so if what you have taken across three rivers is the male then there will be another lurking under your grass to repopulate the area.

So have I. Must be mole time of year. BTW how do you know it's only one?? Hard working little buggers...
I also have an early morning Heron trying to eat my fish. If there was only a way that I could persuade Mr Heron to go after Mr Mole instead we would all be happy (apart from Mr Mole, I suppose)..

ROFL - hi chiark
Got rid of the ******* in my garden - we moved!!!!!
BTW, it's an offence to trap and release a mole under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.......didn't stop me trapping two of the little ***** and letting them out in a layby two miles down the road though
Re them not being alone, there's an old country saying - kill a mole and ten of its friends come to the funeral

Dad had one last month, ran a Honda C90 exhaust down a hosepipe for 4 hrs a day for 3 days.... did no good.
If you're going to dig it up then flood it, surely you will do more damage than the mole??

Tiggs,
You could have saved yourself a lot of time and distruction if you had called the mole man in Binfield.
Used to get paid on results, has caught many for me without all that damage.
If I remember rightly they hunt in pairs etc. so by the time you have finished you should have a good vegetable patch.
All the best

LOL at Tiggs's lawn - contact the BBC and see if they are planning to do a re-enactment of the battle of the Somme - they could hire your garden for the scenes.....
