I have tried many things to get rid of the moles in our yard. The only thing that has worked is to pop them out of the ground with a shovel, but that is not a good solution to control them. What is the best way to get rid of them for good?

Mole control
Here is a link to a terrific mole control article from K-State Extension:

We used the harpoon type gizmo shown in the article, and it worked within a few days. The good news is, moles are very territorial and will even kick their own offspring off their territory! One or two can do a tremendous amount of damage, so chances are you won't have to trap any more than that.
