Killing moles in grandpa’s day
Back in grandpa’s day, the moles were killed quite cruelly. You had to stand next to the molehill with a fork and wait patiently. Then, when a mole was active in the passage, it was only a matter of time before it had to haul fresh soil to the surface. At the moment when small earth movements could be seen, the fork was put into the molehill and the loose earth was torn up together with the mole. The mole then flew through the air and was smashed into pieces with a spade while lying on the ground. Since he was almost blind, he couldn’t escape either.
