Get your hands on 5-6' of alum flex pipe slightly larger than the exhaust pipe of your lawn mower.  Pick up a small roll of metal duct tape, the shiney silver stuff.  Connect the flex to the exhaust pipe of the mower.  Clean out the top of the mole hill to expose the tunnel.  Shove the pipe in 6" to a foot and pack the mole hill dirt around the hose.  Start the mower and leave it partially choked.  Let her idle for good half hour or more.

I just bought my first house. Prior to closing I had maybe 2-4 mole hills........as of last weekend I had 30  :yike:

I have yet to catch one but have detered the activity. Rasbo, does that mean they are aware of my traps?

I catch 'em when they're active usually early morning and flush em out with the garden hose. Take the nozzle off and get lottsa volume. Or I step on the hill to push the dirt back into the tunnel and wait for them to push it back up then dig 'em out with a shovel.

Saw a sign in a guy's yard down around Ocean Park "FREE Moles you dig" you could try that.
