The Tunnelling Terrorist

They’re traditionally seen as the gardener’s enemy – eating worms and destroying lawns. But don’t be too quick to call the exterminators.

If your lawn is full of nectar rich flowers for butterflies and bees, maybe with a patch of long grass for grasshoppers and hedgehogs, then Mother Nature will thank you.

But if you’re one of those strange people who demands that their lawn is a perfectly manicured carpet, poisoned with chemicals, shamelessly shaved each summer Sunday and useless for wildlife then Mother Nature will not be happy. She’ll send in her best hit man, Britain’s infamous tunnelling terrorist – the mole.
