Can any one help me get rid of moles they are digging up the entire garden I'm totally invaded by them Angry

My mother in law would get human hair from beauty and barber shops and put in their hills & runs when they would start to invade her yard & garden. Seemed to work - I asked her where she came up with that and she said that was how people always drove them away when she was a kid. Moles apparently dislike our scent - you might get some personal satisfaction taking a whiz in their run

I just made that up, but seems that would be more offensive than hair. Sue

Hmmm I thought of drowning the little buggers but we have a water restriction at the moment so then I thought of making a probe sending an HV every minute or so just turn it on when I see that they are coming back I'd try the hair thing and the moth balls but there must be over a hundred holes Undecided

Cute little guys aren't they Grin

love the cushion as a landing pad Grin

I don't want to have to kill them moles just drive them out of my garden and into my neighbour's garden Cool

the funny thing is they love my garden don't know why they just do and they make the place look a dam mess.
