Traps are my weapon of choice. Kill a bakers dozen every year. What has worked for me is to identify a tunnel used between two fresh mounds and place the trap with a stone under the trigger so the mole is forced to go over the stone and up into the trigger mechanism. Seems to be pretty successful method as I deem failure being a third or fourth mound...not many moles make it to that point of destruction. Pesky little creatures.
