Default Moles... Will it work?

Hi,

My backyard has as many moles as weeds... I do not mind killing the
weeds, but I do not want to kill the moles. I already tried everything,
including gently asking them to leave and singing (usually works with
my wife)... Now I saw this text:
"Euphorbia lathyris is also known as the 'mole plant' because of its
reputation for deterring the activity of this creature. The Mole Plant
can act as an annual, bienniel, or perennial depending upon how it is
grown and the weather conditions. It grows about 2 feet tall and is
very easy to grow. If prefers sun or part-sun. It can be mixed into the
flower beds to repel moles but is even attractive on it's own. Hardy in
zones 5-10."

Does any of you used this plant to get rid of moles?

trap is best.......the method goes

place trap in mole run
catch mole (so) or is miles not sure.
lay mole out in sun to ripen
wait a few days for junk mail to arrive with freepost envelope
place mole in envelope and post.

there that's more interesting than just planting a weed that wont work
anyway.
