So i nearly blew up the garden

we have been having mole issues on the back lawn ...
wife won`t let me get the `mole man `in to kill it so it scare tacics ...
she bought one of those sonic things but i was thinking its not going to work .
I gave the lawn a good forking this morning as there wre fresh mounds then this afternoon the wife went out ....
SO armed with a camping gas cylinder and a box of matches i found one of the runs with a fork . I made a nice hole puntured the cylinder and quickly shoved it down the hole ....that`ll gas the little bugger i thought ....... i left it a minute then started flicking matches at it ... but the matches were a bit damp where they were in the garage so i got closer and lit a match ....WOOOOOOOOF an ever increasing circle of flame spread across the garden till i had a 10 foot diameter of burning grass 8 inches high .Feck i thought as i`m running for the back door .. I had 2 foot high jets of flame from all the fork holes i put in earlier... it was quite impressive and hopefully moles gone

 

Should've filmed that, we was watching that nutter jump from space but i reckon you just topped him

 

ha ha ha ..... )

i bet the moles still larfin too...

 

:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :ttiwwp: :laugh2: :laugh2:

 

poor moley.....

but that does sound impressive... the filming would have been a good idea!! x

 

Brilliant.......the mole killer. Aren't you meant to hang them up on the fence when killed?

 

Excellent, proper man style solution to a problem...blow everything up...even if it's yours. )

 

That would of been an easy £250 if it was caught on camera.

 

proper funny

 

think of all those innoscent worms

 

Remind me to stay clear of you then! :help-sos:

 

They will be back

Im afraid there is only one way to deal with moles in my experiance once you have delt with one lot another lot move into the territory

I find it strange how many people who deem all creatures as fluffy saveable animals soon go on the opposite foot when the loverly lawn is ruined by them

Me i think moles are awesome

They bring soil to the surface that has been hiding for years sometimes bringing treasure up with it( A mole has no need for saxon gold)

The soil moles bring up to form mole hills is a great top dressing for potted plants

If someones over run with them im very good at dealing with them and nomrally that sees me in good standing for access to land from them folks

 

Shame you didnt take any pictures.

Reminds me of something else I have read, check it out here

 

Our cat did kill one about 6 weeks ago .aand i agree amazing creatures but not in my back garden . I never for one minute thought it would set the whole lawn of fire . There must be a ton of burrows there

 

Not had moles for a while, but immediately call the mole man as soon as a molehill appears, or they take over the whole garden.
