The article highlights the efforts of Jüri Muttika and Andres Kuusk in using a trapping method designed to effectively capture moles by identifying their main passages. This method involves installing traps deep into the ground, specifically five meters down, along the identified pathways used by moles. Out of three traps set by Muttika, one successfully caught a mole, indicating the potential effectiveness of this approach.

Andres Kuusk shared his frustrations with the abundance of moles in his garden, likening the situation to attempting diplomatic negotiations with the persistent pests. He noted the extensive feedback he received on social media regarding this issue. The responses varied, ranging from benign suggestions such as using cat litter or certain plants to deter moles, to more extreme views advocating harmful methods such as setting traps on fire. Some even expressed that the land had been taken over by moles, advising him to catch them instead of trying to coexist.

This discussion sheds light on broader themes of human-animal conflict in domestic spaces and reflects different perspectives on wildlife management. The varying opinions showcase a societal divide in views of how to interact with nature, where some advocate for coexistence, while others prefer more aggressive measures.
