Only effective means of removal is trapping.

They are a big nuisance, aren't they ?
They do have a kill trap that is pretty effective but it won't completly cure them -it is a spike trap -you depress the mound and place the trap in this depression and then when mr. mole comes from either side and attempts to dig under the trap the spikes shoot down - dead mole

however there is usually a whole friggin family with a nest under a bush somewhere and they come back

Mole feed on grubs and you can saturate you yard with a chem. called milky spore which is a natural means which is deadly to grubs - no grubs no moles but milky spore takes years to completly take over the yard

borrow anyones terrier for a couple days- I have pittbulls - and they are ruthless in finding moles and eating them
