Contrary to what you may have heard, a single trap spot can catch several
moles. Also, 1 mole makes up to 10 hills per day, so it doesn't take
that many to do a lot of damage. I don't think it would be that expensive
if you got someone who knew what they were doing. That's always the
trick, of course.

Some years ago we had a mole infestation (as we thought) of a large area of
a big garden. We were surrounded by fields, too. When we got the mole man
in he said that it was almost certainly all done by one mole. IIRC he used
strychnine worms but this was back in the early 80s and I think that may be
illegal now.
