	Several weeks I go I put out a cry for help about my mole problem.
I got numerous, and varied responses.  Here is a summary, you can judge for
yourself what is practical and/or reasonable.

1.	Get a cat that is a good hunter
2.	Get a dog that is a good hunter
3.	Borrow one or both of the above
4.	Put human hair down the holes to scare them off
5.	Use a gopher trap, which impales them in the tunnel
6.	Try to drown them
7.	Plant caster bean plants to repel them
8.	Plant gopher plants to do same
9.	Aerate the lawn over the tunnels (hoping to stab them)
10.	Lawn roll over them to squish them
11.	Gas them with mole bombs
12.	Put raspberry canes in the tunnels so they scratch themselves and
	bleed to death.
