Moles are insectivores, which means most baits will be useless and/or ineffective. It also means that controlling earthworms and grubs, which is the moles main diet in yards is somewhat futile, you will fixing the symptom and not the illness, so to speak. Moles also have a vast network of tunnels. Traps are the most effective and not live traps. Find a tunnel that is straighter and runs along a border, garage base, foundation, etc and smash down a few sections of that tunnel. Check that area for a few days and determine if it is active, as the mole will repair the smashed area. Now place the trap at that section. Repeat as neccesary. Good luck, I have killed 9 so far this fall.
