Mole Traps

Prevention can be better than cure as well. Moles don’t like daffodils, so get lots of bulbs, plant inside and out Old Hartley, and eventually it could be a win win. Pretty Spring flowers for residents and visitors, the moles will go, and then the only ones who might break a leg will be those who venture to pick the daffodils.😉

Our big park is full of Daffs, growing in all areas. No moles though, they are never evidenced.

A few solar powered sonic devices work well on my allotment ( not much fun seeing your runner beans seeds disappear down into mole runs). I can't hear the sonic waves. There again we could always employ the Jasper Carrot method of mole eradication ( you have to be of a certain age to remember that sketch).

The RSPCA have a produced a good PDF article "Living with Moles." 

Sonic emissions are very unpleasant for those that can hear high frequency noises.

I hold my tongue

We had a sonic cat scarer ,which was really unpleasant for our grandchildren so we had to stop using it when they were at our house

Agreed. Some time in the future something will evolve that limits human population growth, probably microbial. Maybe the bats or pangolins whatever have sent us a warning shot.

I like your train of thought V👍🏻. I have always thought all the ‘anti natural world’ types would be held responsible in the next life. . .Yup I’m a dreamer😊

The only creatures that I have deliberately killed have been trout, mackerel, flounder, eel, prawn and sea bass. I exclude bait

Probably killed some whitefly etc also. 

I did despatch a cat with a single blow of an extended wheel spanner to end its suffering after I had run it over.

I am currently reading a book about the Peasants Revolt 1381. It looks at what happened earlier in the Century for background, ie numerous bouts of The Black Death, a few other things such as the end of serfdom and the feudal system. It changed the World profoundly, having wiped out millions of those who did most of the work, along with a few more of the big decision makers as well. The parallels with what is happening at the moment are quite stark, however, human beings are now so clever, so scientifically aware that the current pandemic hasn’t had anything like the effect the Black Death did. You do tend to wonder just where Man’s efforts will lead the planet ultimately. It can only get worse to be honest for other creatures and nature. Won’t be in my lifetime,  but I fear a Soylent Green world for future generations at some point.
