Hi: North Carolina apparently does not allow most of the chemical/bait remidies offered at various web sites. That being the case how do we get ride of the critters?

You'll probably need to use traps. Here's a great thread.

There are no registered or effective chemical controls for mole control. http://icwdm.org/handbook/mammals/Moles.asp

You can, however, eliminate their food source. Moles are carnivores and feed on grubs and other insects in the landscape. North Carolina Cooperative Extension recommendations for grub control: http://burke.ces.ncsu.edu/index.php?page=news&ci=LAWN+3

If in doubt, contact your local Cooperative Extension Agent for recommended controls in your area.

:wall: For what its worth... I tried everything in the book with NO luck. The ONLY successs I had was putting a water hose in every tunnel I could see for a couple hours 2 or 3 days in a row (caddie shack). They either drowned or just left my yard but at least their gone!!!!!
