I am all for just raking and reseeding in the spring but Malc thinks those taupes have to go. Bonny does catch a few but creates great craters wherever she has dug for them.
I do not want to kill them so we are going for a " move them" option. We have bought an anti taupe system. Each baton costs about 16 euros. For a 3,000metre square you need 6 vibrators.
The baton which you stick in the ground gives off underground a high pitched electrical sound which the moles do not like so in theory move to a different area. We have tried one in the back garden and since placing it have had no mole activity. On the other side of the garden activity is now rampant. The plan is to put them in cultivated spaces and send the taupes down into the meadows.
The batons are called Décamp repulsif, systeme electronique.
We will let you know how we get on.
I have visions in smaller gardens if you use them of irate neighbours wondering where the moles have suddenly come from.
