(Star-nosed) moles appeared in this garden for the first time

kill them but stopped after 3 or 4, perhaps because they do not
taste good. Advice please?

One of the simplest and most effective ways to kill them is to pipe
the exhaust from a running automobile into their holes.


That may have worked years ago, but I suspect that modern car exhaust is too
clean. I've read that suicide by car exhaust is way down for that reason.
