        Does anyone have a proven method of controlling moles in both the 
lawn and 
garden?  For some reason this year the little varmints are becoming an 
extreme nuisance.  I was content to live with them in years past but now I 
can hardly put a vegie start in the garden without encountering a mole 
tunnel.  I'm set to buy some mole traps (which are claimed to "smush" the 
critters) but thought I'd pose the question to the list first.
        I live in an area of the Pacific NW where we have heavy clay soils 
(dunno 
if that matters relative to choosing a method of controling the moles).

Thanks,
