Russian Moles

[Billhook]

They must be from Russia as they have left my orchard looking like one of the photos of Eastern Ukraine after a missile attack

You may only have one there. Ounce and one eighth of lead usually disposes of them.

You got some good soil for digging there!

Just get some traps and use them well, got rid of two moles and a rat in the garden....not the kitchen😉

I actually quite like the little creatures.  When I was younger I used to rise early to check our lawn when the moles were working shallow.  I found that if I trod carefully and waited eventually I would find one digging at the end of its run.  I put my heel behind it and fished it out and put it in my trouser pocket.  They don't bite but their claws are powerful, however they were calm in my pocket. (maybe the fumes!)

Then it was just a case of taking them a couple of miles away to the fence of an obnoxious bloke in the village who was always causing trouble.  I think I released about five in his hedge!

Well I've just cut and baled 25 acres of hay and about 100 molehills, I just hope the cattle like a bit of grit in their dinner.

You’re not my neighbour are you?
