We just had our first mole in our garden this year. I haven't tried to get rid of it, but I heard putting a laxative tablet in the hole works well.
In our area, they just seem to be passing through, not moving in, so I am not too concerned about it.
So people drive the moles out by making them poop?
Oh well, free fertilizer. If they're going to dig up people's gardens, they get what they deserve.
