In which case maybe you should have said 'out of courtesy should I drop a note to the Landlord'. I'm sorry if it sounded abrupt but as a LL of quite a few properties it can get rather annoying when certain tenants can't even tighten a screw without picking the phone up.

I guess I should have asked whose responsibility is it to decide if any action would be required. We have no direct dealings with the LL as we rent through an agency otherwise I would have just dropped them a note or email. But we have to go via the agency who then go to the landlord and I was actually not wanting to cause anyone hassle if it was a clear cut tenant responsibility/non issue.

upside down milk bottle (if they even exist anymore) stuffed into the hill used to work wonders for us, the wind blowing on it makes a sound them moles dont like.

We used to have a mole. One day a hill appeared. Five cats (ours and the neighbours, they all get along) sat around it and waited... We no longer have a mole. Whether they ate it or it thought better of sticking its head up in our garden again I'm not sure.

do u not think tenants do this(ring contact by othe means) to stop landlords - like you moaning that its wrong /weren't supost to do it etc then billing huge amounts at end of tenancy for not ringing to report it

most landlords would be happy to have contact with tenants -- and nice ones that dont hide whats happened/broken

well done op on being caring /though-full , if it was me id let the landlord know u got a few " visitors" and thought ud make him aware in case he wants to do anything

Cann't get that tune 'I am a mole and I live in a hole' out of my head. lol

I'm amazed! Loads of posts and no one has said, "Don't make a mountain....."

No, I'm not saying it!

Very difficult things, moles. I have a couple of traps and a cat that will sit there all day, just so it can ambush something. Never had one yet.

As for the sonic deterrent thing, I gave up on that when the mole pushed it over. :mad:

If he isn't doing any harm, then leave him alone.
