That mole may seem innocous but its likely to lift your planted crops, it will destroy the capillary structure causing loss of water uplift and it will EAT your little diggers (worms).
A non-lethal deterrent, simple and cheap, which worked for me, is to place an empty soft drinks bottle upside-down on a bamboo cane positioned through a tunnel. The breeze will intermittently move the bottle, causing a noise/vibration to be transmitted to disturb the mole. Works best if your plot has neighbours…..
