May I recommend putting up a small windmill and driving a pole or pipe into the ground. The vibration from the windmill drive them off. I got this from the “Farmers Alamanc”

A cat works.

Or scatter moth balls.

Seriously, Cripplecreek's suggestion works well. A lot of terrier breeds will hunt them down and eat them...just patch the lawn after they dig them out. Many terriers were raised specifically to hunt and kill varmints on the farm.

I know what worked at my Mom’s house to get rid of moles. When I heard about this, I thought it was absurd, but it was so cheap, I just had to try it.

By a pack of Wrigley Juicy Fruit Gum. It must be Juicy Fruit. Unwrap 2 or three sticks of the gum and cut them each into 3 or 4 pieces. Scatter the pieces on the ground in the area where you spotted the moles.

The gum literally gums-up the moles mouth, and they starve to death. The pieces are small enough they will not be harmful to pets.

Jack Russell Terriers can find and kill moles, ours gets five to 10 a year.

Moles eat grubs, so be sure you put grub killer down (not only on the lawn but your flower beds too).

There are some commercial sprays which also drive them away temporarily (Mole Stop). All of them contain castor oil (moles hate castor oil).

Easy. Remove their food source. Use a good grub and insect killer on your yard NOW. This is the right time of year. The moles eat grubs & worms. Removing the grubs will do a lot. The windmill thing is supposed to work. A cat is a great idea. Not only does it hunt them, if the cat pees in the yard that scent is a real warning to the moles and they tend to leave rather than get eaten.

VOLES are a different problem. They are vegetarians, and the grub killer doesn’t work. They are short tailed mice that burrow just a little under the ground and leave visible trails. Find out which you have. You might have both! Put a mouse trap with peanut butter bait by a hole or a trail. If you catch a short tailed mouse, you’ve got voles.

Why get rid of it? Cindy Crawford made a career out of her mole.

What is THE best way to kill them?

Go to a garden center and purchase a lawn treatment consisting of the chem. Disiston. This chem. will kill the Worms and Grubs in your yard. If you get rid of these pest, I guarantee 100% you will be rid of the pest.These pest are the reason you have the Moles.

Is there a reason you want to exterminate them? I've lived quite harmoniously with them in the past - moles aerate the soil and help moisture find its way deep into the ground - important in dry, hot, hard-soiled areas like here in Texas.

If the only reason you don't like them is the Bugs-bunny-type mounded trails they create, try a multi-pronged approach. Get a cat (mine caught dozens), spray the soil with a castor oil/water solution, use a common device to shake up the soil and disrupt their lives (I think the brand name is Klipity-klop.)
