moles

[MATTMOSS]

I'm plagued with the little blighters at the mo, they have ruined my perfect lawn which I spent last summer laying. I have bought a couple of tunnel traps but haven't had any luck so i have just purchased some repelling granules instead. Fingers crossed. I'll be happy for them to move on

I have one of the little beggers, took that much soil from under my paved path, one of the slabs collapsed. Think I need to get rid of him!

Sure it's a mole and not a rat?

Looks like one of them rodentator things they used for blowing up rabbit burrows. Think they may have banned them here, not sure. Principle was pump propane into the holes, count to whatever it was then push the ignitor button, boom. I think there were a few accidents with them.

surely just sending in a small volume of CO2 would o the job. i't heavier than normal air so won't escape.

I doubt it would be propane-air as that has a narrow band of fuel to air ratio that will ignite around 1:14. Acetylene or hydrogen would be better choice.

Yeah sure its possible but much prefer the idea of flames and bangs. Far more fun than sneaky silent stuff. Seriously though had a lot of success with the 2 wire tunnel traps, the curved metal types. Let them weather buried in ground for a couple of weeks then observe carefully which runs are new and V. Carefully place them in a working tunnel. Use a thin rod to find the tunnel to avoid too much disturbance . Then neatly open up tunnel with a small spade, clear out all fallen soil,set and place your trap and cover with sod of turf lightly so as not to stop trap tripping. Stick the rod back in ground next to trap so ya can find it again !!
