I just leveled out a huge chunk of yard and now the moles or gophers are creating lumps in the grass. Any suggestions on how to deal with them? Thanks.

The only way we've ever got rid of moles is to trap them. If/when you do get one, leave the dead mole in his tunnel underground. Moles are territorial. It will take awhile for another mole to invade that same area.
The moles have been really bad this fall. We had one in our lawn as well. We trapped him though! Mole-trapping services in the PDX area are horribly overpriced. Find a friend who can set the trap for you if you don't have one. It will save you at least a couple hundred dollars or more.

Interesting they are territorial! I have a good trapper: Jaque, my kitty. He's gotten a couple, but we just toss them aside. I will definitely do this! Thank you.
