Castor oil, traps, flooding, and gravel, mesh or concrete barriers & natural predators like cats & dogs can be effective. Here's a site that illustrates/explains:
http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-moles.htm

Many articles say using Castor oil is effective. Even the Washington Dept. of Fish & Wildlife site, which nixes the noise-scaring approach & other repellents, actually gives out a Castor oil recipe & after saying "No repellents currently available will reliably protect lawns or other plantings from moles"... then says this...
"The repellent will be most effective where it can be watered into the moist soil surrounding surface tunnels made by moles. Areas that receive extensive irrigation will quickly loose the repellent to leaching. For best results, spray the entire area needing protection; moles will burrow under a perimeter treatment. The repellent may need to be reapplied before moles depart. Once moles move elsewhere, the solution usually remains effective for 30 to 60 days."
The Recipe:
Using a blender to combine 1/4 cup of unrefined castor oil (can be purchased at most pharmacies) and 2 tablespoons of a dishwashing liquid. Blend the two together, add 6 tablespoons water, and blend again. Combine the concentrated mixture with water at a rate of 2 tablespoons of solution to 1 gallon of water. Use a watering can or sprayer to liberally apply the solution to areas where moles are active. The above mixture will cover approximately 300 square feet.

Using a combination of ways to get rid of moles would be most effective. This can also include using a good grub control ...which would eliminate one of the moles food sources.

Good luck! Hope this is helpful.

First, moles eat grubs and worms in your lawn. Use a commercially available grub killer(available at any lawn & garden center)to treat your lawn. To kill the mole outright to stop it from digging, you can use mole traps, and or poisons to get rid of the pest. Moles are most active early in the mornings and early evenings. Flattening its tunnels by stepping on them and then watching them will be a telltale sign of when its been active.

Thats not so true. I bought a new mole rid that is a pellett. It looks like kitty litter. I opened little holes in the track areas and used a funnel to put the pelletts in the ground. My husband is amazed at the fast rate they moved to the neighbers yard. Call or go to the hardware and check it out.

Each one of the holes has more then one opening, so you take a garden hose and shove it in the one end then you wait at the other end of the hole and when the mole goes to run out you shoot it. Only way i know of that works

Mole traps are the only answer.
