Hi Trevor
Moles are searching for worms, mainly, so a possible solution is to
deter worm activity on the lawn by making the soil more acidic. You
can do this with an acidic lawn fertiliser - one based on ammonium
sulphate. But you'd need to do this in spring or summer as you don't
want to be applying fertiliser now. Or you could use iron sulphate
(sold as a mosskiller on lawns) - which is what we did to solve the
problem in one garden when we had a garden maintenance round.
There are humane mole traps that you put in the runs, but you have to
be careful not to get your scent on them otherwise the moles will
know. And it means digging up the lawn to find a run, and then
dealing with the mole - I wonder how far away you have to release it?
We haven't used electronic devices for moles, but have for cats and
other creatures, so if it says they work on the packet, we suppose
they do.
Good luck.
Alec and Val
