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?

The plant is very effective when planted correctly... first remove all the
soil from the backyard, then lay 6 inches of concrete over the entire area
and set the plant directly into the middle of the concrete. Never another
mole hill again ;-)
