I've now had the moleman in for the second time recently - costs me another ??70.00 - ??60.00 his fee and ??10.00 each mole caught. Last June it cost ??80.00 for 2 caught, but by September another one had moved in.
I've tried everything anybody suggested - smelly stuff in the hole, tins rattling on metal sticks, children's windmills, mothballs down the hole, etc., but nothing worked so in came the moleman. I
t was as a last resort, but when you've paid out loads of money to have someone in to put down 165 sq.metres of turf last year, then for part of it covered with piles of molehills, 17 at one time, it got beyond a joke. Not only do we have worms - good - but leatherjackets - bad. I got some Nematodes last year and although that seemed to kill some of the leatherjackets, there was still enough left for a mole feast. No, I'm not happy about killing the moles either, but it was as a last resort.
