Default Moles!

My yard is 2 acres and I have a mole problem. As the ground is just
beginning to thaw, I'm getting ready to do battle. I'm thinking all out,
traps, bait, hungry dog,... But my problem is I have a lot of large
spruce trees with ground hugging limbs. The mole trails go in and out of
there. Does the mole repellant work? If so, I'd spray under the trees
and get the moles in the yard.

Also any first hand mole fighting stories would help. What works. What
doesn't work.

I tried the battery-operated buzz-spikes, a rat terrier, and mole bait
to no avail. Sprinkling used kitty litter around and in tunnel entrances
finally worked.
