moth balls dropped in the tunnels does the job for me...or they actually make mole traps...moles will leave with the moth balls because it messes up there sense of smell and they can't sniff out the food....just keep in mind they may just move to another area in your yard and you will then need to treat that tunnel as well...otherwise get the traps

Or build or buy a windmill. I used one and it worked great!

  The vibration. They do not like it and move on. I had no idea either until I had a problem myself, and was told to get one by an old timer. I did not want to use chemicals and after trapping one of them, that was the way to go. Works for all underground burrowing rodents. Since I live on the edge of civilization we went to a few local farm and ranch stores - they can get quite expensive, although I suspect now the "fancy" ones are being used for yard art rather than rodent control.

They hate mothballs, if you sprinkle them around, it should keep them out!
