RE: Moles?
Take a mouse trap, smear some peanut butter on the pan,set it beside the hole, and place a box over both the trap and the hole. The box will keep unwanted critters out of the trap and will also prevent the mole from sencing the daylight when he comes out of the hole (so you can catch him any time of the day).
After catching and disposing of one mole, reset the trap by the same hole, forevery hole, untill you nolonger are catching anything. I've caught up to 5 moles/shrews out of one hole. Then take some gravel, pour it down the hole, cover with dirt, and replant your grass. The gravel will prevent anything else from remaking the hole.
As someone said earlier, it's an uphill battle, but I've found that this method is simple and effective.
