(Star-nosed) moles appeared in this garden for the first time
(in 15 years) and were extra active in September. Our cat can
kill them but stopped after 3 or 4, perhaps because they do not
taste good. Advice please?

I found the following article to seem quite useful:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5542217_rid-...tern-mole.html
It advises using castor oil-based repellants, smoke bombs, and various
pesticides;
and if those don't work, mole traps.

Years ago I used a phosphide based poison put in their tunnels and have
not seen them since.

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