Hello, The moles are likely eating insects- grubs in your soil.
I would love to find a solution too! Iโve tried to Tomcat trap and the Sweeney worms and they both didnโt work for my troubles.
In master gardener classes the expert lecturer commented there are four possible solutions, get a cat, get rid of the grubs, get a trap or live with them.
Sorry to say I can say I've have not found my answer to eradicate these pests.
Heres a link with some information and suggestions.
Good luck in your search for a solution!

I tried bubble gum and I think they are down there having a bubble party and laughing at me. Now I just go around the yard and crush the hills and their tunnels.
They say there is only one sure way to get rid of them and that is to remove their food source. If you kill off that, you will also kill off the earth worms which are so important to our soil. This is one of the choices I will not use. My best choice is the spinner, thumpers and noise makers you can probably find at Amazon. Just by pacing these things around the flower beds outer edges and by your fence line should keep you mole free.
One of the most common and effective mole and vole repellents is castor oil, which has an unpleasant taste and smell. Mixing three parts castor oil and one part dish soap with a gallon of water creates an effective repellent that can be sprayed on areas of mole activity. This is not only a repellent for moles; itโs also a good way to get rid of groundhogs, voles, and other rodents.
