An enduring rumour claims moles are haemophiliac. As a result, many people make all sorts of traps \u2013 equally dangerous for humans and pets \u2013 thinking this will rid them of moles. So, forget about using broken glass and other sharp objects in your green spaces \u2013 there\u2019s no use trying to injure the moles, and it is not recommended.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"title-number\">2Natural remedies for driving moles away<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are lots of natural remedies going around for driving moles away. Among the commonest and most reliable:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dog hair in the tunnels<\/li>\n<li>Elderberry: either concentrated, directly in the molehills, or branches close to the area to be protected<\/li>\n<li>The strong odours of garlic or onion (fairly poor reliability, but less toxic than mothballs)<\/li>\n<li>A stick planted in the entrance to the tunnel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"title-number\">3Mole traps and mole catchers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A mole catcher is by definition a person whose job is to destroy moles. However, there are a few mole catchers who don\u2019t kill the moles, but combat the animal while keeping it alive. In either case, the mole catcher knows the animal and its habits very well, and usually has traps that are environmentally-friendly solutions. Watch a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?gl=BE&amp;v=L1wa9rRdYDs\">video on a mole trap laid by the mole catcher at the Palace of Versailles<\/a>\u00a0with the added bonus of a commentary by the late Jean-Pierre Coffe!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"title-number\">4Moles don\u2019t like noise and ultrasound!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Moles have a highly-developed sense of hearing \u2013 unlike their eyesight, which deteriorates as they get older. So moles are extremely sensitive to noise and vibration.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Home-made<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One common method is to position sticks carrying half an upside-down plastic bottle at the entrance to the tunnels. It may not look very attractive, but it\u2019s effective in driving away the moles!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Ultrasonic devices<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another frequently used alternative is to buy ultrasonic devices. These gadgets operate using either solar power or batteries. But watch out, as you\u2019ll need a substantial number of devices to actually get rid of these infernal squatters.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"title-number\">5Repeated mowing!\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.belrobotics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/greenmow-jardin.jpg\" alt=\"Greenmow Belrobotics\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yes: mowing drives moles away.
