My solution was to call the `MOLE CONTROL PATROL`. For me that was an extermination outfit called Midwest exterminating. For $80 they put pellets all around the foundation of my house. I didnt look into doing the job myself because for one reason I had just had the lawn put in last september (new house) for the sum of $1100 and I didnt want to take any chances with it. Also I was told that if you dont eliminate them before the spring when they breed, you almost will never be rid of them. One more thing, if you do decide to get an exterminator, shop around. My neighbor had the same treatment, and it cost him $100. D. R. Rueckheim AT+T Bell Labs Naperville, Il.
