Brilliant! Haha! Whats the next stage? Gonna buy some surface to mole missiles from the US military? hahaha!
Nice one! Thats like something out of The young ones! hah, They should hire you as a comedy series writer!
Or you could start your own company up! you could call it A.M.R.T (Apocolyptic Mole Removal Team).
I look forward to hearing about round to, You soooooo have to post it!
I have a few suggestions! Get some of that Building Demolitions grade Dynomite, Plant a stick or two of dynamite around each mole hill, and link them up to numbered plungers (One for each mound) and then sit there, wait for the little critter to stick his head out the hole and then...
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOM!!!!

This post is now being sent round the office - 300 + people - little groups keep falling about on the floor pi**ing themselves.
Best read in ages - can't wait for chapter 2.

Superb I can also fully sympathise. My wife told me to give it a rest when I had small marker posts in every mole hill in the garden and had spent 3 hours waiting with a spade

Moles are out of control. Lawns, parks, golf courses, racecourses, village greens and farms across Britain are all marked with telltale lines of mole hills as the creatures search for worms.
Although individually moles are harmless, their burrowing can trip racehorses, damage mowers, breach flood defences, and drive gardeners to distraction.
In the past two years the population has exploded. This is partly because during the foot and mouth outbreak pest controllers were not allowed access to farms to kill them, and partly because supplies of strychnine, standard poison for moles, have run out.
Richard Strand, executive director of the Pest Control Association, said: "They used to be quite rare, but now they seem to be everywhere. Pest control officers all over the country are being asked to control moles, but have no poison to do so."
The problem is that strychnine, obtained commercially in Asia from the seeds of the Saint-Ignatius's-bean and the nux-vomica tree, has been over harvested. Thornton and Ross, the sole British supplier, based in Huddersfield, has been unable to find any since September.
The best method of killing moles is apparently to soak worms in strychnine and drop them down a hole, although a licence is needed. Trapping or gassing is more time consuming and less effective.
With the breeding season about to begin, Mr Strand fears the problem will escalate. The normally solitary animals have up to seven young, and can eat their own weight daily.
