Q: We have moles digging up our yard. How do we get rid of them?

A: Mole control partially depends on your own psychological makeup. If you are a Type A person who simply must see a dead mole, use a harpoon trap and prepare for daily visits to the affected lawn area and several repositionings of the trap over a two week period. But there is no guarantee you’ll ever catch one of them.

On the other hand, if you are a laid-back Type C person, put on some old shoes and walk around your lawn and press the tunnels back into place. You won’t kill the mole(s) in your yard but you will surely drive them out to some other hapless neighbor’s lawn.
