Okay, I looked for that info and found this very thorough article on  
moles:

They do in fact feed day and night.

Reading this article reminded me that in years past I have sometimes  
had a bit of luck by sticking a hose in a tunnel at a high point and  
letting the water run strong for an hour or so. Makes for an  
interesting irrigation, with water coming out of the ground at  
disparate spots.

I have wondered if we could kill them if we were to rig up a hose from  
an exhaust pipe and push carbon monoxide into the tunnel system. Might  
just cause the engine to stop, from the resistance.
