Not the kind that are on your body. the kind that make a hole in your yard. how do i get rid of them? I'm afraid my horses will step in them and hurt themselves.

we can't find the holes. there are just mounds of dirt. so we know they are there. and our cat got a baby mole.

there are devices that are sold that cause vibrations in the ground that moles do not like. The windmill someone mentioned is one type that has parts underground that tremble when it spins. Whatever you chose, they are relatively cheap and do not kill the animals.
Poisoning any animal that is a food source for another is not a good idea as it disrupts the natural food chain. It is also not necessary to kill something that will simply move on to firmer ground (pun intended) if you use the vibrational devices.
Most gardening catalogs and web sites offer then. Heck, I think Walmart even carries them in the gardening section.

I used to have a problem with moles, but now they go across the street and dig up our neighbor's yard. I have a few of those plastic flower windmills and they seem to do the job. Apparently the vibrations scary them away.

moles eat grubs if you put grubex on your land in spring and in fall it will kill all the grubs and the moles will leave because there will be no food 4 them also if there are big mounds of dirt u have a goffer grub x will do the same for him

Put juicy fruit gum in the mole holes. The moles can't digest it and it will kill it.

your feed store should sale red bait blocks, this are very sweet smelling and rodents are attracted to them.
put them far down in the hole so your horse will not get to them.
