I keep a small box of instant mashed potatoes on hand and sprinkle a few spoonfuls where i think they travel. I do this at night since most are nocturnal. After they eat, the flakes expand in the stomach and well they die.
NOTE: If you have pets keep these flakes out of their reach.
Another idea is to pour Pinesol on the mound – they move right out.
Castor oil works well as a repellant
If your lawn has grubs, that may be what is attracting the moles (voles are darker and are attracted to seeds). Next year, treat your lawn with Grub X to deter moles. Clean up all leaf litter to avoid giving Japanese beetles places to hide.
