*says nowt*

I have a back lawn like a sponge, I hang washing out and do back flips... I have tunnels just under the surface all over a 12 foot area I have asked for sensible answers, cos them lot in the crib just take the p*ss (apart from Ros) 

Problem one, I can't be doing with traps because I wouldn't be able to empty them.

Problem two, the next door neighbours cat sits on my fence under a overhanging branch and as much as I dislike cats, I would hate to be putting anything down that could harm the cat.

Any advice would be appreciated

Poor dame - apart from a terrier as you tried  cats or Mole-Max by Bonide.(made from Castor oil apparently )

But you haven't actually asked us to help. You've just said you have them  

Do you know if there's anything in partic that brings them around your neck of the woods? 

just googled

human urine and castor oil

I need Pam's waders  

I've googled, and there are lots of suggestions for poison and traps.

Good news, voles have a short lifespan. Bad news, they are prolific breeders.

Sorry Dame, I've been no help at all.

I have been moaning for days, did you think I wanted to keep them for pets?   

Pam, I live next to fields and behind my house are trees and bushes, natural vole habitat, there is nothing in my garden to eat apart from the grass roots  I know they are going to bugga the lawn up for summer 

FILTH !!!!

They're not gonna drink that concoction surely! 

  Awwwww 

I dunno really, other than getting expert help in

I know - what about acouple of cats Dame???

the mole trapper doesn't have his terrier now, it died, otherwise I would have called him in 

The only other thing I can think of then is to put chemicals down and asking your neighbour if she wouldn't mind getting a litter tray and keeping the cat in for a couple of days 

I think I might Pam, she's loads of plants in her back garden, and they will eventually get to her 

aww sorry friend dame - i lubbs cats but i know loads that don't

I think you can get non chemical deterrents based on castor oil dame

I'm not into pets at all Ros, although I don't hate them, they are just not me 

we used to have pets when son was little but since our cat died - not had any

oh, and well done Jen, it was a great game

*now help me shift these bloody voles* 

I was thinking she might know something helpful dame Maybe you should get a dog too..

She's had recent experience with dogs Sweet, and although she wouldn't harm them, animals/pets aren't for her
