Stick a hose on your exhaust and kill them...I eliminate gophers that way...just hold hose over entrance.....takes about ten minutes..

I bought this powder from an online garden shop, gardensalive, I think. You spread it like fertilizer and water it down. At the same time I used smoke bombs and bait.
That was about 2 years ago and now, I have no moles. Don't know thich worked.

This is what I did ONCE and I highly DO NOT recommend doing it.
I poured about a half cup of gas down the hole, then stuck a leaf blower in there to circulate the fumes…than dropped a match and all hell broke loose. Blew that smoking little furry thing out his escape hatch and about 12 feet in to the air along with a 12 foot coulomb of flames. The ground I was standing on rose, it felt like, a few inches. I think if I was closer to the house it would have blown a few basement blocks in. Needless to say the furry little creature didn’t survive.

I did something similar to a nest of underground bees.

If you can't get a hold of a good "mole dog" try one of these.

Doublearrow is correct juicy fruit gum rolled int a ball they love to eat but cant digest and die and become underground fertilizer. I had same problem with moles this year and made a big dent in the population with a little gum. Managed to catch 1 and they are some tough little buggers
Good luck
Good luck

I have a mole problem as well, I built a nice place for the owls to roost out and hang around my shop to eat them. Did you know owls vomit up the bones and fur?
