maude Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Have cursed the mole nuisance many times,and the horrendous sunken runs in the lawn,now seem to accidently find the answer!Today found a dead mole in the water butt which has a sealed lid!Cannot have come up the overflow pipe from the soakaway cos there is a butt side internal filter.It must have entered the butt down the down spout drain off the roof.Now can moles climb vertical walls ?My wife did say that she had heard some heavy scrabbling noises in the bathroom roof space a couple of days ago.Since its demise in the water butt(it wasnt wearing SCUBA gear)no roof noises.I am erecting a sign for directions of the moles to the butt!

Christine Animal Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 If you do you will have the mole protectors after you !Do you have a cat who could have taken it up there, they catch moles ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabman Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 More likely dropped onto the roof by an owl or buzzard.Nice idea though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixie Toadstool Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Moles are meant to taste horrid - so it could have been a reject from an airborne carnivore!I see dead ones over in the wood from us and they always look perfect - never clear how they died - maybe old age - but they are never, ever mutilated by scavengers - they just eventually rot down by the side of the path!PixX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
