Don't stomp on the mounds, that just kills grass. Remove the dirt and carry away in a bucket. Same effect, but better for your lawn.

Watch for active holes. Get a lawn chair, beer, and a mattock (wide pick axe). Set chair near active hole so that when you stand up your feet don't move. Sit in chair, drink beer, wait for mole to start again. Usually 5-10 minutes. As soon as dirt starts coming up, stand up, mole may pause, and then when they start again swing with all of your might bringing the blade of the mattock down into the ground about 2-3" on the far side of the hole. Lift up swiftly in the same motion bringing a fair amount of dirt up, and the mole will likely be flying in the air.

When the mole hits the ground, use the tool end of the mattock to go "boppity" on his head, and take him out. The mole will quickly burrow underground if you pause at all. THEY ARE FRICKIN" FAST.

My old Shelton neighbor laughed at me the first time she saw me do this, but after 2 hours and 8 beers I had 6 moles. I was at her house the next weekend, drinking her beer.

I still want to buy a Rodex/Rodenator though. If I ever get bonuses back at work, that will be one of my first purchases.
