SIR - There's been an explosion of moles this year. And there is nothing worse to find little piles of earth all over your carefully-tended lawn.
Talking to a keen gardener in the pub the other night, he gave me a way of getting rid of the moles, and I don't think George Cowley would like to hear about this.
The idea is to find the moles' run and play a recording by Shirley Bassey. The moles can't stand this and put their paws over their ears to stop the noise.
With their paws over their ears, this stops them digging, and if you play the record over and over again they get fed up and move out to your neighbour's lawn. All quite humane, don't you think?
JOHN SHEARON,
Worcester.
