Does that work? I have a HUGE number of very pesky moles in my rural front yard, I’d love to use anything that will work.

Castor oil makes the bugs & insects which moles feed on taste terrible (to the moles that is)! So they move on.
One brand is called MoleGo which comes in a quart container which screws on to a garden hose. Other brands are available at Lowes/Home Depot.
I saved the original container and get bottles of castor oil at Wally World or CVS and mix it with water - then spray with the hose. A little goes a long way.
Lasts for about a month. It also works if you “drive” the critters over to the neighbors yard - but you did not hear that from me.

My creepy crawler pool cleaner was clogged one day. It's usually a clump of leaves, etc. I reached down and grabbed (per usual without looking)--a rotund furry lump--Aaaarrrgh!

It was a mole. Took me a moment to figure out which end was the "moleasses." I've often wondered how he lost his way into the pool. Lots fewer tunnels in the yard after that experience.

Heard on FNC this morning that eating 10 castor beans will kill you.
