Look in the gardening section for poison peanuts etc to put in their runs.

Moles are protected in some states, so check that first. Moles eat insects, such as grubs as well. Voles are the ones eating your plants. There are various DIY ways of getting rid of them, but most don't work. Call your local exterminator to see what they offer. One thing guaranteed to get rid of them--it worked in my yard--is for a native, non-venomous snake to take yup residence in your yard. For example, a rat snake- pretty, relatively small, but they will take care of rodents.
Thanks for all the comments. I have used the lots of the poison peanuts and even the granules. They might deter for a couple of days but that is it. Haven't thought about a rat snake!!! Don't know that I could survive walking out and finding it just laying out or in my flower beds!! LOL!! but great idea!!
I had them in my garden and didn't think I would get rid of them and then I took friends advice and planted gopher purge all around premmeter of the garden. Last year I thought okay will not plant them as for last 6 years no problem and torn all plants out and guess how stupid>>> I was >>this year planted garden and I have a mole in the garden so will replant. the gopher purge. It really does work.
