For some reason this winter they are wrecking my back yard. Never had any issues before. Any suggestions to get rid of them?

My cats love moles, have to step over their dead carcasses all the time.

My dog zee zee is the mole patrol. I know she’s on the scent when her tail goes straight. She raises her left paw and then just smashes the shit out of them with her nose. Sometimes she brings them to the door to show me her work.

Go to the farm store and get the Easy Set Mole Eliminator. It's the only trap that I've tried that works. I walk down the tunnels then place a trap at each end. Good luck.

Trapping is the only method that works. I'm really good at trapping but its taken a lot of practice. This is the trap I use.

Funny thing, when I lived at home we had two fields side by side and one had a horse in it and the other didn't. The non horse field was always covered in mole hills, the horse field not one. It was like that every year. Then we moved the horse and both fields got them. Clearly the vibrations from the horse must have done something.

I use a garden hose and some tin foil and place the hose in the exhaust of my truck seal it with the tin foil and the other end of the hose into the mole hole and let the truck idle for a few. Of course you need to seal (fill with dirt)any other holes
Since I started doing this my garden produces much more.

One mole can do a lot of damage making you think there's an army of them

I mean, she's not worried about it... it, (they – ha) are out in every damn photo so who cares.

FWIW, i'm moley as can be too, 50+ something excisions thus far. Not good. Wear sunscreen and, ah, go ferreting?

Yep, carbon monoxide the hell out of em, this is the method I've used for 20 year's, the moles either die or come out of the ground intoxicated. Best to have a large cold beer or sip'n whiskey during the process.
