When we lived in RI, our solution was a shotgun. My husband
and a neighbor would run a hose into their tunnel and watch for
them to emerge from the other opening. POW!

They are a real pest in the garden. You plant seedlings, come
out the next morning, and it looks as though someone has run a
lawnmower over the plants.

One year we tried putting up a wire fence around the corn. They
tunneled right under it and came up in the middle of the plants.
