They’re really working right now. I saw a couple feet of pushed up soil in the front yard along a sidewalk and stepped it down. An hour later I went back and found some new dirt moving so I stomped it and ended one mole’s enjoyment. Must be time to lay on the insecticide.
growing up on a farm,we had many tricks to rid our fields and yard of moles and gophers when traps didnt work.
one of course is the ole bucket of water down the hole until the critter showed up gasping for air and you stomped it to death,or the rat terrier played games with it.
others included: a running lawnmower with a flexpipe down the hole to kill them with carbon monoxide,( may take a bit )
another one was anhydrous ammonia,( very risky ) but worked instantly,only draw back was very green spots in your yard.
if you can still find them,gopher peanuts,they contain cyanide,very quick and permanent also.
The choker loop traps are the best I’ve ever used. Much better than the spear type traps.

Oh no…not Juicy Fruit. It has to be Bazooka Joe. Added benefit is the comic!

This one takes a very long time as they (pocket gophers anyway) will plug the tunnels to stop the gas.
I step the runs down and then keep an eye on the little schnits pushing the dirt up again, then I stomp them and dig them out quick. With the creek behind us I like to see if I can find one that can swim.
My Aunt at 93 yrs. old always told me if Ya wanna get that dad burn mole,” Ya got to go at 11:00 am with a pitchfork and ya stab him good”. By God it works. 
Now that reminds me of my grandmother Mike. lol
