you can catch it or you can just call the animal portal and they will get it for you if you have one.
There are companies that catch and release, but I’d be afraid the mole would make his way back to his home…your garden.
try irritating it so it would go away.. i read it in this site i provided that fox urine powder sold on the net is the most suitable cure for your problem.. i know its yuckie and all that but i think its effective…..
i watched my father just this past weekend install these little windmills on a pole near the area he wanted rid of them. they have some sort of bearing in them that makes a vibration and noise that gets them packing. check it out he swears by them. good luck
My grandmother taught us how to catch them when we were kids. All you need are heavy leather gloves, a sharp garden spade, a keen eye and a little patience. Find a good place to sit and watch quietly. Eventually you will see one of the tunnels moving forward. Stab the spade in the ground behind him to block his retreat and lever it back to expose the tunnel. When trapped like this they will pop out of the ground to get to an escape hole. Grab him and hang on tight they are amazingly strong for such a small critter. Box him up and find him a good home. Gophers are another fun little guy to catch but that’s a different story. RScott
Moles have incredible hearing. Put a couple of yard whirlybirds in the ground near where the moles hang out. When the whirlybirds turn, it vibrates the metal poles that are in the ground and to the mole it hurts their ears and feels like an earthquake so they flee. It really works. Good luck.
