Give them an invitation to attend a party at the neighbors house across the street? : )
Honestly, go to your local Home Depot (or other hardware store) and buy some bait/poison. You can also buy stuff that will smoke them out.
I have heard that putting a 1/2 piece of juicy fruit gum (in the wrapper) into every hole will work too. Apparently they will chew and swallow the gum and they'll die underground because their stomach will be clogged. (They can't pass gum.)

Moles don't like noise. Put a small radio tuned to a hard-rock station in one of the tunnels or holes and let it play until the batteries run down. The moles will head for quieter territories. Also, a wooden windmill on a wood or metal stake driven into the ground will, if you're in an area where there are regular breezes, will conduct enough noise to make living in your yard uncomfortable. Look for the homemade types which mimic flowers or even have a simple propeller attached to a stake.

Remove the molehill soil and fish around for the entry and exit holes to the tunnel. Make up a bucketful of Jeyes Fluid diluted to medium strength and pour it down then refill the tunnels with the excavated soil. It worked a treat on my mum and dad's lawn/. However, be aware that these surface tunnels are merely feeding runs and the extent of the real tunnels could be at least a mile!!!

We picked up this stuff at walmart this summer, forget the name, but has picture of a goofy looking mole on it. Sprinkled it around the garden and yard, watered and haven't seen a mole yet.

They are there to forage. Moles eat grubs (beetle larvae). To get rid of moles, you just have to get rid of their source of food. It will take awhile to clear your yard of grubs as they feed mainly during the summer months. In the meantime, you can get the poison pellets for moles to control their population. HD and Lowe's sell them and they come with instructions on how to apply.

half-bury a wine bottle , when the breeze blows across the top it makes a sound which moles don't like. You can also get a windmill which does something similar, making the ground vibrate.

There is a product called "Tomcat" and it by far exceeds anything on the market. They have a website www.tomcatbrand.com. This is good stuff.
