moles ?

[kennetbarble]

Hello - I have a patio approx 16ftx16ft built on top of rubble/sand and then slabs on top, It is about 25meters from the river with borders containing flowers which lead to the river.
I have a dog and next door has 6 cats - both of us have noticed mole holes in the lawn and in the borders... but what is pushing up the sand from between my slabs? Could it be a mole? I have also noticed 1 hole in the lawn going under the path approx 40mm no sign of rats but the cats are catching a few mice. I am thinking moles, most of the movement seems to be in daylight?
Any idea would be be a great help.

Cheers Martyn

I would suggest the most likely cause of sand being pushed up between slabs is Ants, I get quite a lot of this at this time of year.
