When I was a little kid, our yard was getting torn up by star-nosed moles one summer. We also had one of those redneck back yard kid pools with like a aluminum frame and a rubber liner that all the neighborhood kids would play in.
At the end of the summer, my mother used to just pull the plug on the thing and empty it into the yard, and that year all of a sudden there were moles everywhere...some of them drowned, I remember the neighborhood kids beating some of them to death with sticks as they surfaced. Great fun. 🤮
It's a fairly disturbing early memory actually, but it took care of the mole problem once and for all.
