To find an active tunnel, you can try collapsing a molehill or known section of the tunnel, and if, after a few days, it has been excavated or pushed out again, you know that the underlying tunnel is in use.

It’s important to note that mole soil has been removed from the ground below. Flattening it above the ground will make a bumpy mess. I really enjoy writing verse, even though it can be fiendishly difficult. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books.You can increase your chances of catching moles in the act by collapsing and compacting their tunnels, forcing them to dig them out again. You can then see this movement more clearly from the surface. My real breakthrough was THE GRUFFALO, again illustrated by Axel. We work separately - he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow - but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes. Grasses like these require little water to survive, so you can limit the moisture content of your yard, making it less attractive to moles, which prefer moist soil. If you still like flowers, you can put them in pots instead. If you still want a vegetable garden, you can make this in raised box beds with water catch trays underneath it. After encountering a mole hole, the first instinct that people have is to flood it. While flooding is an option, most people consider it inhumane. Moles are continuously making new tunnels, and their underground roadways provide pests like weasels and voles, who eat your plants, with easy access to your garden plants’ roots. If these animals eat the roots, your plants will die and look like moles are the culprits.

If you are landscaping a new yard in an area known to struggle with moles, you can be front-footed and imbed a wire mesh or hardware cloth frame below the entire yard. Depending on your yard size, this can be costly, so consider it carefully. Increase mole predator presence: Moles are preyed on by birds like owls and hawks. You can set up hides and perches that encourage the presence of these birds in your yard. However, you also have to consider the safety of your pets; if they are small enough, they may also become prey to these birds. Additionally, these birds will chase away smaller local birdlife, so if you are an avid birdwatcher, you may wish to avoid this technique unless you are desperate. Some people use pesticides that produce toxic gases that permeate through the tunneling system. These include:It is wise to sink the mesh twelve to eighteen inches into the ground, and the mesh apertures must be small enough to stop a seven-inch long, four-ounce mole from passing through but large enough to allow roots to grow through if they need to go deeper than twelve to eighteen inches. Moles spend little time above the ground, so you must set the traps into their underground tunnel systems. Castor oil spray repellent: Castor oil spray not only kills the insects on which moles feed, but the smell of castor oil also repels the moles themselves. You can spray the castor oil solution at the tunnel entrances and exits and even along the length of the tunnels if you can follow them. This will allow you to freely water your vegetables without increasing the moisture content of the lawn, and you can also recycle the water caught in the tray.
