electric worm digger

Does anyone know haw to make an electric worm digger? When I was in the 7th grade, one of the projects in shop class was this thing. I opted to make something else, so I don't know how it was made. It looked simple though. Just a rod that was plugged in and you were supposed to put it in the ground and the worms came to the top.

I don't want it for worms, I thought it might work for those moles that are starting to destroy the yard.

I used an old hand cranked generator out of a telephone and some of the scientific companies sold a demostration version for worms. Two ground rods were put about 3 to 4 feet apart and the wires connected and then turn the crank and the worms come crawling out. I know some people did use 115 VAC but very dangerous. My guess is that you will probably shock you before the moles. Try some of the other methods for moles. I have heard the ground thumpers driven by wind do work.

Of course, I had to re-seed the battleground afterwards but it was sweet revenge, of sorts. I then put Grubex down and banned the chickens Kestrel in CT

Anyway, I have tried just about everything to get rid of those moles. I put grub killer on the lawn for 2 years now and tried a trap and poison peanuts. I have killed a couple just being out there watching for them work, but that is kind of slow going. Just thought that if I could make a worm digger I would try it. Thought it might be kind of interesting.
