This looks like a great redneck solution to those moles John!




That looks almost as fun as a bug zapper!  Seriously though, get rid of the grubs (jap beetles) and the moles will leave on their own.

Right Bob,
 
This has been the most consistent thing I was able to research. Get rid of the worms, grubs and the little critters will seek elsewhere, though Craig's example is really tempting.
 
My next door neighbor to the south is about evenly split on the plague zone. He has his place as a vacation mansion and rarely comes to the coast. I called a few days ago expressing that we got a problem.
He made a trip over to check out the carnage first hand. He froze, put a handkerchief over his nose and turned a whiter shade of pale.
 
The feed store doesn't have any of the blasters. Still hope though. There's the local brothel, the Chinese restaurant, and the Baptist church.

The brothel is the second best idea after milky spore.  The brothel might be more fun, but make sure your shots are up to date.  Same for the Chinese joint.
 
Churches are a bad idea in general because the guilt makes you drink too much ... which you end up feeling guilty about.
 
You could always gift jap beetle lure/traps to all of your neighbors

Even after the moles have left, that blaster is pretty good at causing the tunnels to collapse so you don't have new moles moving in without work and so you don't accidentally put your foot into one.

Craig,
 
Correct as far as I can determine. The earth has been burrowed out underneath. Feels like more than a light step will sink you into the ground knee deep. Major damage. Taking also Bob's advice to make sure my shots are up to date and going to the brothel to rent their blaster. Most logical place out here to find one for rent.. Certain that the Baptist church has several of them, but trying to avoid the guilt trips associated.

I'm taking the day off and my wife and I and a few friends are heading to Beatrice, Nebraska. We are going to be on a spot that's the second highest point in the county - right under the direct path of the Eclipse. It's only about a 90 minute drive - should be fun! :)

I'm starting to get curious about how many folks will pack the available parking areas along The Path.
 
Looks like I'll be able to witness 98.5% from my porch.  Yep, my porch is the location I'll view from.

I'll set up my GoPro clone to do a time lapse.  I need to do this because I'm sure there won't be any videos available on the interwebz - lulz
