Welp, I just saw we have a special species of mole confined to Europe alone it seems.
Might be why they are under protection.

My parents had a mole problem a while back and solved it with alcohol-soaked rags we put inside the tunnels every few meters. Took a bit of patience and tenacity but it or they fucked off to another place.
Also added some wind chimes that transferred the waves to the ground, so far none came back.

But that might not work for the species terrorizing ya, dunno.

No need to kill moles, they are useful in nature, and can be in your garden.

You can always just drive em away. Unless you are lazy and selfish...

WTF? That's crazy. It's practically a national sport in the suburbs over here. I'm in the country now and didn't want to whack this dude but he was elusive and very destructive.

I hope they wreck your landscape.

all made out of salvaged parts too. rear end and tranny are from a nissan that was upside down in a ditch on a logging road and abandoned . most everything else came from the scrap metal yard or a discount online auto parts supplier . he is taking it in to get a VIN number so he can get insurance on it today.

We have two of these trees in the front yard. They come into bloom very rapidly but only last a few days before wind or rain will take all the petals off. Some years we have barely been able to enjoy them at all. Mother Nature nailed it this year but with rain coming this weekend, it will once again be short lived.
