Anybody have/had them? How to get rid of them? Success stories?
Moles

Do you have the Eastern mole in Tennessee? That's what I have here in western PA. I believe trapping moles is the only truly successful way to get rid of moles.
I have successfully used the Trapline mole traps. They're relatively inexpensive and are sold in a pair. One faces each direction and they go directly in the tunnel. I haven't had a mole in my yard now for a year or so. I kind of miss trapping them!

Here's the link to Trapline:
http://www.traplineproducts.com/onlinestore.html - $14.99 - The standard trap is what I used. I never tethered mine down and never had any disappear into a tunnel.
Good luck!!!

I have killed 16 moles this year but no success story. I live on the outside of town and it's mostly undeveloped on this side of the street. With so much area for them to roam I don't see an end in site. I just do my best to kill them but a week later there will be another.

If you get rid of the larvae/grubs in the lawn won't the moles just go somewhere else? If theres no food I would think they wouldn't bother.
Their primary food source is earthworms.gatormac2112 said:

I should say earthworms and grubs are both major food sources. That's why chemical grub control has a limited effect on controlling moles.Ware said:

And I suppose its not good to kill earthworms as they are good for the soil
Mostly yes. Good article below.gatormac2112 said:
