To rid the yard of moles, you must stop their food supply. They are after the grubs and other high protein foods in the soil. Grubs feed on plants growing. You can stop them from feeding and multiplying by using a toothpick against the stem and pushed half way into the soil. Grubs cannot chew their food with the tooth picks there. They die, the moles go elsewhere. It takes patience and diligence but that is easiest way I know. An old farmer's wife taught me that.
Our yard WAS full of gophers and moles. Found a product called Molemax. It is a battery operated spike pushed into the ground. It covers up to 7,500 sq feet. The spike vibrates under ground which the mole and gophers hate. no chemicals, lasts as long as you keep fresh batteries in it. Safe for pets, people etc. We have not had moles or gophers for 3 years!! We found it at Home Depot.
The first thing to do is to get rid of the grub population in your lawn. There are a number of good products for this in the garden center of your favorite store. I have never been successful with mole poison or traps. I don't use poison because I have a dog, but the dog has served a very useful purpose. I have found active mole tunnels, and starting near the end of the tunnel in the middle of the lawn, I bury fresh dog poo in the tunnel. Since the dog produces this on a regular basis, I work my way back toward my property line in the tunnels. It's easy to see if new tunnels are formed, and I attack those on a regular basis. Between the grub removal and the dog poo in the tunnels, not only are moles gone, but they also do not use my yard as a pathway to get to my neighbors. My one neighbor who did not have a dog asked if she could collect my dog's poo so that she could also get rid of her moles. Who knew that poo could be so popular??
