Does anyone know of any DIY methods for getting rid of moles in my yard?

Thanks for the help!

Yes I used to catch them to feed my snakes.
Take a open dog food can and flush it in the ground. Now smear the side with Vaseline. Bait the bottom with Chunky peanut butter. The mole will crawl in to eat and can't climb out small legs not like a mouse and can't jump out. You can use a plastic and cap the can and its now canned to lift out of ground and take elsewhere. This is 100% environmentally friendly> There are mole spikes and other chemical approaches. My can method sounds weird But today I still use it.

Hi, New Bass Player!

Another thing to try would be to eliminate things that the moles like to eat, such as grubs. If you have any grubs in your yard, it would be best to treat your yard once or twice a year to get rid of the grubs. A couple of products that work well for that are Tempo (http://www.bugspray.com/catalog/products/page203.html) and Bifenthrin Granules. (http://www.bugspray.com/catalog/products/page205.html)

Thanks!
