Or are they a waste of money?

I've given up trying to get rid of the moles, we even paid for a chap
to come in and put down worms which had been treated to kill them.

I tried the hose down the hole, didn't work. I bought some stuf in
France to water down the holes, didn't work. I got advice from Jane
Ranson, old time urgler who is "the expert" on mole catching, didn't
work. The only thing that did work to kill one was when I was getting
out of the car one evening. I saw the earth move, and, without
thinking, I bent down and attacked the heaving earth with my handbag,
there was earth flying everywhere, I never caught another one by any
method after that.

I was playing golf with a friend and waiting on the tee for the match
ahead to get out of range. My playing partner nudged me, and there on
the tee to our side appeared a mole hill in the act of being excavated.
Without thinking, I swung my driver at the mole hill, broke the driver
shaft, and no sign of the mole. Since that time, and I've seen quite a
few mole hills being excavated on the golf course, I let them get on
with it. The driver shaft cost me £25 pounds. An expensive experience.
