The only thing I can think of is that the noise from the wind blowing through the milk jugs would create annoying vibrations down the poles to the moles underground and send them to browner pastures... (moles have poor eyesight but sensitive hearing-----and although they have very human looking hands, they don't have long arms and cannot "hold their ears") ---
Truth is, moles are there because their favorite snack, grub worms, are there....and in the words of the gardner's bard
" Where e'er a grub worm spawns, a mole will wreck the lawns"
Many have pondered the mole dilemma, and most do not want to resort to using unfriendly substances to remove the grubs (pesticides that can hurt other sweet animals)....so there has been a "country lore movement" for years debating the best method for divesting one's lawn of nature's little half-blind living rototillers.
Since there is no pied-piper of grubworms, and since I will not succumb to "pesky-sides"...alas, my lawn will be adorned with little mud piles - there was even one that surfaced in my heavily graveled driveway! Methinks I should be concerned about mole steroid usage - that one had to take some effort on the part of the mole!
Sometimes when I look at my back yard from an upstairs window, I think this looks like the tunnel network in Afghanistan and perhaps one of my moles is actually named "Mole-Sama"...but I digress.
Whatever this peculiar practice is doing to the moles (other than perhaps they poke their heads out and laugh themselves to death).....I shudder to think what a crop of milk jugs does to the overall neighborhood property values!
Got MIlk?
