Hello,
It is the grass that attracts the moles . . . well, no, itis the
insects
that eat the grass roots that attract the moles, so, to get rid of the
moles, you need to plant ground-cover other than common, lawn
grass, or wait until all the grass dies; the moles move on to greener
pastures (your neighbor's lawn), then re-plant (re-sod) your lawn . .
