    go to your local farm supply or some hardware store and ask for mole killer in pellet form,find the most recent tunnel and make a small hole with out closeing off the tunnel,drop a few pellets in and cover hole back up gentle,do not cave in,(pop lid works well) do this every 4 to 5 ft apart until problem stops. I've heard chewing gum works,because they are not able to digest it,but I have never tried it.

    A more humane way- they now have stakes that you put around your yard that emit a high pitched sound that repells the moles. Look at your local hardware store or walmart.

    There are at least a couple of different ways. One is to buy traps to set up at the entrances. When the little dudes pop there heads up it gets them. Second, is something that you light with a match and then put in the hole, then plug it with something so the poison gas can't escape.

    My neighbour sticks a double-barrelled shot gun down the hole, and fires, it gets rid of the moles, but makes holes twice the size of the ones made by the moles!!

    moth balls and moth ball flacks use a leaf blower to blow a 20/ 80 mixture (20% mothballs) deep into the holes after a week or so they will leave because hey have very sensitive noses and will basically stink em out
