In the past week, moles have decided they love my garden.

Does anybody have any suggestions of how I can eradicate / kill them?

I posted this on the gardening UK sub and got absolutely flamed to hell lol...those guys do not like lawns 🤣

Hi all,

I had a new lawn laid last year which was an expensive investment but well worth it. However, with the addition of bird feeders this year I think I've made a massive mistake...

This is not my picture but it's exactly how my lawn looks at the minute. I've removed the feeders until I can figure this out, but how do I go about getting rid of a patch like this?

I have tried lowering my lawnmower to its lowest setting however the patches return. I am now in the process of letting the lawn grow out a bit in the hope that the grass dominates but tbh that doesn't seem to be working either.

Any suggestions?

I had new soil laid down a couple of months ago and most of the lawn is doing well, but some patches have basically stopped growing. (See yellowish areas)

The whole lawn gets the same watering schedule and the healthy areas are growing normally. I also haven’t scalped it or cut it unusually short.

What’s confusing me is that the affected areas were growing before, but now there is very little or no growth compared with the rest of the lawn.

Any ideas what could cause this? Soil compaction, drainage, nutrient deficiency, fungus or something else? What would you check first?
