I've not followed the entire mole discussion thread - I can only stand to scroll down through the same messages continually reposted just so many times.
All the attention paid to grubs & milky spore, etc. is largely wasted effort, from a mole-control standpoint. Yes, moles do eat grubs, but by far and away, their principal foodsource is...EARTHWORMS...which are not affected by milky spore.
So...actually, if you're seeing lots of mole activity, it seems to indicate to me that you've done a tremendous job of enriching your soil(OK, so maybe some of you were just blessed with good soil) and fostering a good population of earthworms.
For one of the better mole/mole control websites, have a look here:
