I friend of mine swears by this. Get a pail (2 gallon or so), add Original Dawn (1/2 cup), fill with water, mix well. Find the "Mole Hole" and fill up the hole with the Dawn solution. Good luck!!
The vibration from a child's pinwheel stuck in the ground at the tunnels will cause moles to leave the area.
You can try castor oil.
.Pour a little gas in the holes, the fumes will penetrate the tunnels and they will be gone. You can also light it then with a match and pop-pop, they are definitely gone for good.
I don't know what kind of grass you have, but our st Augustine got rid of them, probably because it was too much trouble to gnaw thru those tough as nails runners
moth balls stuck down into holes
Moles eat the off white grubs in the ground. A hardware store will have something to decrease the number of grubs in your lawn and the moles will move elsewhere.
My dogs can sniff them out, they dig them up. Also kill them.
