You smash down the tunnel you see going through your yard. You get a comfortable chair (and a beer or whatever), you turn on the yard lights and settle in listening to your mp3 or whatever. Keep watching the smashed down tunnels ... soon you'll see one moving back up ... and that's where he is. Tiptoe, very quietly up to the moving area and use a heavy spade and give several heavy thrusts in that area ... you'll probably cut the mole in half if you do it right. I did this three nights in a row, killed 2 moles and never had a problem again. This after spending more than a hundred bucks on "remedies."
What are you doing this weekend?
I do the tamping down, sitting and waiting thing, also. Then, I cut off their tunnel by shoving a spade behind them and flood their tunnel with water from a hose. When they come up through the ground for air, smack them upside the head with a shovel. I also keep a bucket of water handy (in case I just stunned them), put them in the bucket, and let them drown. It’s groce, but it works. I’ve found they work the ground early morning, about lunchtime, and early evening, not just at night.

Also dont try to just smash them with your foot. Doesnt work.
In my case it was only two moles, too. Although I thought there were a lot more.
