mole eradication

This is not a question. I have used mole traps, poisons, and spread chemicals over the lawn that were supposed to kill whatever the moles feed on. My barber told me what has been the most successful for me--Mouse traps baited with peanut butter.

Russell: Thanks for the tip about using mousetraps to catch moles. If someone is wanting more information on how to catch moles with mousetraps, Cornell University has a fact sheet that you can download at: http://counties.cce.cornell.edu/Chemung/publications/shrews-meadow-mice-and-moles.pdf Thanks, again for the info- Doug
