Course he does. Cultivated gardens have more worms to eat and easier soil to tunnel. They're active in my garden at the mo. Normally it's quiet at this time of year but it's been so warm they're in full tunnelling mode.
I have tried humane traps but never caught one though I have liberated live ones caught when digging up weeds and free dthem in the field and woods across the neighbouring paddock's stream but I've also sorted them with one of these which we can buy in Belgium and France - http://www-be.detaupeur.com/
Moles not only wreck lawns. They make collapsible tunnels which are dangerous to find by surpise - sprained ankles, twinged backs. They also uproot precious plants in borders and can lift slabs and pavers and make them uneven.

They also have been known to kill kings!
Obelixx- how effective is the detaupeur? Not that the GC is likely to stock it.
enjoyed the film. Thanks.
It's very effective and very satsifying but not available in the UK.
Go on then Berghill - which king?
And for those who do not follow links, William 111 is reputed to have died of illness after falling from his horse when it stumbled in a mole run.
Sorry Edd, it is just that I have had Virus problems before from following links, so I tend not to do it and I know other folks feel the same way.
I actually caught the mole which was ruining my big central island bed, one down, three to go.
