Home Depot carries a product you dump in the holes. A cat is your best defense against moles but that is not an option for most. When I bought my house my yard was so torn up it was hard to walk. Within 3 months not a mole to be seen and my yard was flat.
I've seen lots of solutions, but I have 2. First, they are usually after grubs in the lawn. Get rid of the grubs and you'll get rid of the moles. The other option is a trap.
Get a grub additive for your lawn/garden. The grubs and insects live underground (which are the moles' main source of food) if you eliminate their food source, they'll move on.
The granules get into the soil and kill the grubs at all stages of development.
You can find popular brands at Lowes, Home Depot...they are made by Scott's and Bayer, those are the 2 top brands I can think of, but I am sure there are more.

I use milky spore for the grubs, speed on lawn in the spring. On the dirt mounds you see, pour Pine Sol, works great. Cats should be inside!!!!😃
