dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) why do pepole trap moles? you can't eat them, they're native and they don't do anything really bad. do you always ask daft questions Aaron Simple answer, is that the mole can be a very serious pest. The farm im starting next week is absolutely black with mole hills, the grazing in the fields has been reduced by almost half, its that bad! This also causes problems with the sheep, there feet suffer and they get very clarty, but im no expert on them, so cant expand on that. This is the result of not bothering to do the moles for a few years, in an area that is well populated. They are also covering the medows which are used for growing hay to feed the livestock through the winter, and if the soil is baled up with the hay, it can cause ??(something :blush: mind block!!) which can be fatal to the stock. .... most farmers will like to keep mole numbers low on their ground. There are MANY other reasons and scenarios that make the mole a pest. Hope this helps Dogs Edited January 23, 2009 by dogs-n-natives Quote Link to post
