I've killed dozens. I find that the best traps that work are Victor Out O Sight mole traps (amazon has them). If you're serious about killing them, you'll need to constantly tamp down areas that have been messed up. You need to know basically on a daily basis where they are. Find long runs or straight lines where they are traveling and set your traps there.

I've also killed a bunch with a shovel. I keep my yard cut short, keep all mole damage mashed down everyday so I have a good idea of where they are. They are usually active in the morning time. I just go out and watch those areas in the morning, when I see one digging or "bumping" up the ground I walk very slowly over to them, and dig them up with a shovel. Works pretty well.

I've tried everything for years. These are the only 2 that have been consistent for me.

I live next to a golf course, and the golf course manager is a freaking wizard at spotting them by eye. I'll see him in the mornings just sitting in a cart and staring with a shovel
