Here is a six minute video on how to trap moles yourself.
We are in the business of helping people get rid of moles, whether they use our services or want to do it themselves.
We charge for our services. You can do it yourself for free, however, our mole trapper has experience and is very successful at mercy killing and disposing of your moles. This makes it easy for the customer not to have to deal with the dirty work of killing an animal and disposing of it's caucus.
I am using very frank language as it is a stark fact. We are actually killing an animal for you. It is a pest and can make a mess out of all your hard work and time you spent making your lawn and garden beautiful. Mercy or any way of killing and disposing of pests isn't for everyone. This is what make our service so useful. We do the work for you...for a fee.
We ask our customers to leave comments. This is how we make our successes public. It is an ongoing reference building made public for future customers, so to speak.
Please do not watch this video if you are a PETA member. Also, please do not leave any comments about killing moles being inhumane. My blog is not the place for such discussions. Thank you for respecting my request.
In Middle English, moles were known as moldwarp. The expression "do not make a mountain out of a mole hill"—exaggerating problems—was first recorded in Tudor times. By the era of Early Modern English, the mole was also known in English as mouldywarp, a word having cognates in other Germanic languages such as German (Maulwurf), and Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Icelandic (muldvarp, mullvad, moldvarpa), where the muld/mull/mold part of the word means soil and the varp/vad/varpa part means throw, hence "one who throws soil" or "dirt tosser".
Male moles are called "boars", females are called "sows". A group of moles is called a "labour".

The mole is often thought to be a rodent. However, it is not a rodent, but an insectivore related to shrews and bats. Moles consume 70 to 100 per cent of their body weight in insects (mostly grubs and worms) each day. They must eat constantly to maintain the energy used for digging. Although they appear to be blind, they can see with very small eyes. They have no external ears. The forefeet are large for digging tunnels under the soil line. Moles spend most of their lives underground, rarely coming to the surface. There may be several moles living in a lawn but they are believed to be loners, not living in groups.
A mole's food-searching runway is just beneath the surface of the soil. The burrows where they actually live are usually about eight inches below the surface. It is the system of shallow feeding tunnels in the lawn that causes distress for many homeowners. These shallow tunnels are easily detected by the presence of low ridges pushed up as they tunnel just under the surface. There are also mounds of fresh soil pushed up from below.
To control mole problems use several mole traps set in the most recently constructed tunnels. To determine the best place to put a trap, press down portions of the tunnel. The next day, observe which areas have been raised. Where the soil has been raised is considered an active tunnel and the trap should be placed there. Natural predators of moles are snakes, and foxes.
