Lay down in the grass and make a noise like a ‘grub’ ,,,,,,,,,, catch’em when they show up !!! 😉
I tried that, didn't work

A good mole dog works great but they dig up a hell of a lot of yard.😉 I have put the beans in the holes, traps, ect. but I guess the grub spray works ok if you keep their food supply down.

7mm mag should be sufficient.

My beagle Daisy is an expert mole killer. The moles are all gone from my yard.

So, does Daisy do side work? 😉

Depending upon the species (there are about 30 in North America), they are all but blind and have compesating senses well beyond ours or what we can imagine. They detect changes in their tunnels, so that traps that disturb the tunnels are nearly useless. They can also detect you creeping around the yard while you are many feet away and they freeze. Not much help, but it will tell you what not to waste time on.

Correct me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers they'll lock me up and throw away the key.

We can do that. We don't even need a reason.

Ya didn't get that they can sense the vibrations of you coming many feet away? Works when they are crossing a dirt road in the SE, but in your lawn, you are doing more damage to lawn than moles.

I HAVE THEM BAD!!! They love the area under the old apple trees that are on the bank. The erosion they are causing is the worst part. They tend to stay under the shaded part of the trees. My dogs don't even sniff or acknowledge them. In the last two years I never was that serious about it. I would get a garbage bag of hair from the barber and lay the hair on the mounds and pee in a coffee can and pour on the mounds (I was told both would run them off) hasn't worked!!
I'm making up a concoction that I'm gonna try when spring is over (less rain).I bought 2 gallons of pure castor oil (that's what most lawn sprays contain @ 0.01%, they don't like it on their skin and make the grubs taste bad). Got two 32 ounce liquid triazicide ( which kills grubs). 6 ounce bottle of fox urine ( predators scare them off). I'm gonna mix all these up in a 40 gallon sprayer and spray problem areas.
I also bought the triazicide pellets and have some garlic and clove oils ordered. I'm gonna mix the oils into the pellets and use a fertilizer spreader to treat the area. The clove and garlic oils SUPPOSEDLY burns their nasal passages. Thought I'd use the pellets when it was raining (in the spring) and use the liquid later in summer when there's not as much rain.
I've not seen the critters but their mounds are pretty large, for Tennessee anyway, and it's a pain to mow the yard! I've wondered about the solar panel spikes that "vibrate" to run them off and any traps or poisons that invade their mound. Also thought of buying an aerator that has the spikes and pull behind mower to maybe spike and kill them.
Haven't heard of the lye treatment but wouldn't that burn up you grass?

Control the food supply (grubs) you will control the moles. But I do have a little tomcat that is hell on moles.

I've tried poison worms, and smoke bombs, and traps, but the only thing that work 100% of the time was to watch for the dirt to move and stomp the shit out of the ground and dig up the body, I killed 5 one year that way

You're wasting your time.

I saw a video awhile back where some guy poured gasoline down a hole in his backyard and lit it off. It basically lifted his whole backyard up.
If it were me.............I would get a Cairn Terrier..........name him/her something cool like Webley or Ithica.......and let the dog loose on them.

How about a more modern approach to handling the moles? You should be nice to them and apologize that you didn't help the moles ruin your lawn. Moles are sensitive creatures, everyone knows this. They have been marginalized and have not had the same opportunities as you. I advise that you ddefer to the moles and let them do what they want without question and certainly without intervention.
Hey there Darryl, are you trying to tell us Mole Lives Matter? 😂

My brother was doing some carpentry work for a gal. He noticed these solar powered stakes in her yard. He asked her what the deal was and she said she had big problems with moles. These stakes emit sounds that moles don't like. She said these had run off her moles.
Amazon.com : electronic mole repeller solar powered
These are the first I ran across on Amazon I don't know if these are the type she used or not. However, I have had a lengthy battle with rats and I now have a dozen electronic rat repellers in the basement, in the carport and wood shed, and inside the cars and they work very well to run off the rats.
