Getting rid of moles painlessly

Hello Val,
I see you have moles in your garden.  I have tried a few things myself over the years and these tend to work.... at little or not cost:-
1) find a freshly dug mole hill, open it up slightly with the end of an old broomhandle, deposit fresh dog poo in to the hole and cover it up.
2) purchase handheld windmills and 'plant' one in every mole hill that appears.  Place the windmill facing the wind. Only works if you have a windy garden or on windy days.
3) Dig down in a freshly dug molehill, the depth of a plastic bottle.  Take the lid off the plastic bottle and place the bottle in the hole.  The tricky part is to ensure the top is level to the ground and nothing around it obstructs the wind from blowing over the top. If it is down correctly, the moles will scatter elsewhere. Same principle as a person blowing over the top of a bottle.  Moles hate it!
Hope one of those work for you .
All the best,
Joanne Schofield
