    People have to make their own choices.  Traps are acceptable to most people as they do want to get rid of the mole.  Traps cost less than 'a battery powered thing' in the long run.

    I cut slugs in half with a pair of scissors because I think killing them by some other means is pretty horrible.

    As I say, make your own choices.

    Ever tried one of these? Catch mole but don't kill image Cheap too!

  • We don't like killing wild animals.  Moles don't seem to like strong smells, so we ... disperse the earth from molehills; find the tunnel; fill with 'Repulsif' (we live in France); then mothballs, woodash and charcoal.  This seems to work and the moles soon beetle off into the surrounding fields. 'Repulsif' smells like charcoal which is why we use the charcoal from our house fires.  (The fine earth from molehills makes good soil for plants.)

    Thank you all, I will try one of the humane things as I really prefer not to kill a living thing.  Excluding greenfly and slugs!

    I place a short cane in the middle of the molehill and a large empty yoghurt pot inverted on the top. The vibration in the breeze seems to drive them away.image

    Try the 'Mole Plant' - Euphorbia Caper Spurge. Works for me.
