We have used deterrent but we have more mounds or they have made new ones, can anyone recommend something that really works before our lawn is completed taken over by the little blighters.

My sister has moles on the campsite she helps run.
They got a mole catcher in.

Don't do it this way

A bit drastic but probably worked however not the method we were thinking of. :-D

As many people as you can muster, get out there and stamp about for a while around where they are.

We did that once and they came up about two houses along where they have an immaculate lawn.

Make sure you have a couple of caper spurge growing somewhere in your garden as well. They don't like them.

Park a seriously heavy vehicle over their runs.

On the little green area opposite our old home We had moles. One day bt were replacing telegraph poles and parked on it (just big enough) so they could access the pole.

Never saw moles there again! ;-)

Drive them crazy

RTR, ironically I bought a gallon of vinegar because I use it for household cleaning and descaling so the moles will have some on the mounds tonight, thanks. X

We had the same problem several years ago and bought a sonic mole thingy - has a battery and apparently broadcasts noises or whatever that they can't stand. It seemed to work, and we bought a similar type to deter cats coming in from a new neighbour's garden and fouling all over over our flowerbeds - that worked too.

Good luck!

We had a problem with them when we moved here. Bought the sonic thingy and stuck it alongside the path where they were they were tunnelling towards the front garden and they just deviated around it and carried on.Tried it again and they did the same. Bought some special noxious smelling stuff to deter them and OH spilled it all down a new white T shirt and ruined it. Bought a mole trap and OH trapped his finger in it!! Booked a mole catcher and he set a trap and he didn't charge us as he didn't trap any, but we never saw any again!

Ann, I expect the moles left as they knew they'd won! :-D :-D

They are still here and annoying us even more.

Anna, do you remember how much it would’ve cost if you had to pay?
