JDog Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Your garden looks great but I see a problem. You have been watering the grass which will bring worms closer to the surface thus attracting the moles. My bet is that your neighbours do not have a mole problem.

wigeon jim Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Good luck with the new putage traps, new ones are not easy to set as the triggers slip on the new metal surfaces, I usually put them in a bucket of water for a few days first rust them up, also did you remember to order a setting tool for them? good luck and keep us posted, Jim.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Here you go, now sing a long! I'm not a bat or a rat or a cat, I'm not a gnu or a kangaroo, I'm not a goose or a moose on the loose, I am a mole and I live in a hole. I'm not a cow or a chow or a sow, I'm not a snake or a hake or a drake, I'm not a flea or a wee chimpanzee, I am a mole and I live in a hole. Yarg yarg, quarck quarck, fried boiled or roast, You're the slick chick I dig the most , I'm not a ram or a clam or a lamb, I'm not a hog or a frog or a dog, I'm not a bus or a hip-potomus, I am a mole and I live in a hole.

Maybe these traps are like many a fly fishermans Fly Ditchy, in which that they are designed to catch the buyer and not the prey. I have a good feeling the new traps will come up trumps when they arrive. 🤞 I feel your Moley pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
