Has anyone had any success battling moles?

If so, what were your methods used.

Plastic, poison worms in the ground.
Think it was Sweeney.
I guess it worked because the mole trenches have stopped and not come back.

1. Jack Russell
2. Cat
3. Those death traps that guillotine spikes down into the ground. Not sure they sell them anymore as they might kill 1 or 2.

That's the right combo. My mom has 2 of each.

I’ve tried poison pellets with no success.
I’m trying the death traps now, but no luck yet.
I’ll try the worms and Juicy Fruit gum next.
I did see a stray cat out back yesterday but haven’t checked yet to see if it was hunting.

Just ordered. I’ll keep you posted.

I just bought a gopher hawk because I’ve tried everything else to no avail. Hopefully spearing these jerks will keep my yard looking decent. It’s been a never ending battle since I moved in 3 years ago.

My battle started last year and they have just proliferated.

I have a gopher hawk and all they do is fill the trap with dirt. I have been battling Molezilla for 2 years. I went in my backyard yesterday and the amount of damage he has done in a matter of a couple of days is insane. I have almost every mole trap they make and I cannot for the life of me catch him. When I do, he is going to die a slow death.

This. The mole runs stop on my dog's invisible fence line. It's kind of hilarious.

I’ve got a 3 year old Dachshund that is a terror on them. Her sole purpose in life is to dig them out then eat em

Not the report I was hoping for 
Maybe I’ll have better luck

This.
I find dead moles often. The cat doesnt eat them like she does a small bird or lizards. But proudly leaves dead moles on driveway to show me that if she was 200 lbs larger I would be on the driveway too

This has worked for me in the past. The only issue I've found is that if your neighbor isn't using it as well, they eventually just move back in from the neighbor's yard.
One of my neighbors waits until her pilot husband is out of town flying, and she pours gas in their holes and tries to burn/smoke them out...I don't think I recommend her way

Caught a couple in the trap but it’s very seldom. Got a few by cutting lawn short then running a garden hose into the tunnel to flush them out then whack with a shovel. I too have been at them for a couple years. I’m hesitant on the poison worm and afraid the dog would eat them.

I live on a golf course, and the manager of the course will sit and watch the ground for movement in their tunnels then jam a shovel down on them. I've seen him kill several moles this way

I actually mentioned this to my daughter today. I need an extra pair of eyes out there.

Gas them. They sell poison gas flares, look like small road flares to stick in their burrows. Only thing that worked for me.

Get a terrier or a dachshund. Train them and turn them loose.
