Holy Moley!

 A high school acquaintance  told me how to handle moles many years ago. He managed a golf course and had figured out how to get them. Just push down all the runs that are active, watch and wait. Pretty soon, the mole will start pushing a tunnel roof back up. Pounce with your shovel. Well, we have moles invading the dog yard. It's hard enough keeping grass with all the little feet running around, and the moles make a mess. The dogs want to sniff and dig, too. I did the "pat down and wait with a shovel" trick this morning, and by golly, it worked! The dogs were all a bit spooked by it when I flipped it out. They weren't nearly as eager as when they were trying to dig him out.
