When I was a kid round here moles were also known as “ unts “ …borders thing I suppose….

And molehills are " unt tumps"

There seams to be only one way to catch the moles. That is simply trapping them. We did try hitting them with a shovel but they are too quick for me. This is how I deal with moles.

I know how to clear moles , become and arable farm , you never moles in arable , i had a mole catcher caught alot here and i said you must be a mole millionaire as you have 30000 acre arable to go at , he laughed and said i catch more moles on you farm than all that arable , so thats it my place is going arable

They used to say that MBC fungicides had a deleterious effect on the earthworm population so may partially explain the lack of moles.

Amateur. 115 caught here (OK, I got somebody else to do it). I probably should have left them to multiply to improve the drainage.

The only effective mole control i ever saw was a soil fumigant, used by a tenant growing trees. cannot remember the chemical but the runs rarely went more than 5 yards into thebtreated area before they stopped. Otherwise my arable farm in Norfolk was riddled with the little furry b******s . My trapper would commonly catch 30 in a day
