I have a large number of mole hills now and have failed to catch the mole
via traps. Is there an easier answer?

There are plenty of mole myths but the conventional underground traps
are not easy to set correctly and give no feedback. I had no joy with
them either. But when I tried the simple above-ground plunger-type
traps (eg http://www.northerntooluk.com/produc...partno=168907E ) I
started finally to catch the varmits.

You don't have to do any digging and you can tell at a distant glance
if the trap has been sprung. If not, it takes only a couple of seconds
to move it to a different location. Highly recommended.
