Back in April I did everything to reduce the number of Taupes (moles) putting large amounts of soil on top of our nice green grass!! I thought I had had some success... Think again Colin; the only success was the dry weather which had made to ground like concrete. A decent amount of rain and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Over the last few days the mole hills have been appearing at an alarming rate.
What a mess they make...
So its back to the traps...
The runs are located by pushing a stick into the ground and feeling for the holes. Once these are located the run is quickly exposed, a set trap dropped in and the gaps around filled. Speed is of the essence since moles can detect the fresh air...
So is wearing gloves as they also have an acute sense of smell.
My five traps where set yesterday with no success, two had been snapped but no moles. Moles are known on occasions to push soil in front of them which I assume must have happened on this occasion. Today I have moved and reset all five traps.
We will see what tomorrow brings...
