I have tried everything, bayonet style traps, sonic generators, mole
bait, poison gas, castor oil, urine.

Either I've killed hundreds of them, or I have one uber-mole that
cannot be killed.

I can't believe that there isn't anything that will get rid of them.  I
wouldn't mind them but during a heavy rain, the run off flows through
their tunnels and floods my barn.
