Do not handle the killing end too much, moles navigate by smell.
Have got rid of dozens over the years.
Probably a YouTube video showing how to set traps.
Moles go where the grubs are. That means the lawn is infested with grubs. If you kill the moles, the grubs will thrive, and you'll see more beetles of a variety of types once the grubs finish growing.

If you get rid of the grubs, the moles will go away because you will have eliminated their food source.
