I'm not him, but I'd say moletraps - use a stick or something to mark where they are.

I'd second that too!

As said very wisely reg a stick to mark their wherabouts and check them at least daily...

Mole traps are very easy to buy, set and check. Also very easy for moles to avoid, my top tip is 'weather' a new one before use and don't let your scent get onto it.

I bury things like that for a bit and then try to touch them as little as possible, and when I do, I rub earth on my hands - when I was a young rascal, I used to do the same with my rabbit snares...
