Gen Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Okay guys.. a revival of sorts. Can't find a thread on gardening so guys..any advice on moles (assume these are moles.. or a mole)... sorry if it has been posted.. couldn't seem to find it.. I checked in on the other house and it seems the moles are having a party there.. anyone tried those anti mole stakes... Okay obviously because of the restrictions I can't travel there.. but I would love some advice for when I am actually able to...or organise with someone Edited July 8, 2020 by Gen

Then they got a new teacher who had the cutest little Jack Russel that came to school with him and made friends with the boys. It almost instantly became the school mascot. It also started catching moles and everyone thought how cool it was - until he dug up so much of the cricket pitch that it was much worse than what the moles could ever have done if they were just left alone. So, get a Jack Russel at your own peril. Personally, I think even a thermo-nuclear device cannot get rid of moles. They will leave when they feel like it, maybe just a bit before the cockroaches depart, but not by much. Gen 1

Oh genade... I am pretty sure Bruce the Beagle will sort them.. was just hoping there would be some sort of device I could use when we aren't there. In the meantime they must maar have a jol[emoji1787][emoji1787]

I reckon once we are down there again the dogs will have fun chasing them around or trying to find them...well the Beagle will sure have fun trying to find them..he'll probably dig a big hole in the search for the origin or the smell[emoji2356] Edited July 9, 2020 by Gen

CAAD4 Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Bles Bridges treffers at high volume. Surely no one can stand that. Might be good for nosy neighbours too? Gen and DJR 2
DJR Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Â Bless Bridges (called that after he died) Ja, I'm with you on that one, will definitely get rid of all but a few moles from Pretoria. Â

Â I tried windmills, coke bottles and all sorts, they all looked worse than their mounds and didn't workI was gonna suggest the 2 l bottles with water, but i see its mentioned here. Not sure how effective it is though. I saw sometime back that you also get some electronic gadget that you put in the mole hole. It emits some sort of frequency that keeps them away. All hearsay, cant confirm if it works though.Good luck, but if you like snakes can I suggest one or 2 healthy adult mole snakes. They wont dig up your garden like the dogs, but if they basking on the lawn, they will surely keep the wanna be burglars away. Gen 1
