They had two types. One worked on the two buried wires bridging a circuit and the other involves a device that sits on  top of the cleared mole hill and detonates when the sensor is lifted by the mole pushing the soil up. I haven't seen the first type for years now. The second type is sold as Detaupeur for arohnd €80. It only is effective in shallow tunnels as the charge is only a 9mm starting pistol blank. If moley is pushing the soil up from a foot down it won't be effective. 

Our former village handyman makes his own version out of rebar and wrought iron that uses an empty 12g cartridge. And a neighbour has a cut down a bolt action .410 chamber version. No wonder I'm so busy ?
