 thinking of their tunnels; a quick stomp and the soil is level again
 and has benefited from some aeration.  Just look at it this
 way...moles are an indication that you have a good, healthy ecosystem
 working.  If you didn't, there would be no food for them to find:-) 
 If your mower is set high enough for really healthy grass, the
 tunnels don't get hit:-) >>

You haven't seen the moles in my county, Marge.  I saw one as big as a rat.  
Their mounds stop the mower even set at 3".  And they frequently don't press 
back down.  And when they tunnel under my pricey exhibition daffodils, they 
are not appealing at all.  OTOH, I do have some black snakes that live in the 
ceiling of my shed and they think moles are pretty tasty.
