Get hold of some of those kiddies windmills and put in the ground, the moles dont like the vibrations apparantly and move on - or do what my Dad did, put a shortish stick in the ground and put a bottle (2ltr coke bottle size) upturned on the pole, seems to do the same thing - moles did not stay around long.
I second the bottle on the pole as it does work. Also keeps birds and cats away from the lawn.
When I am called out for a mole problem, I can almost guarantee that I will find bottles, windmills, ultrasonic emitters, rose thorns, holly leaves, barbed wire in any combination of the above, and that does not include the chemicals.
The worst of all is when people try trapping themselves with cheap garden centre traps that have the killing power of an elastic band. If you are going to trap, at least make sure you use a decent trap that will break your fingers if you put them in the kill zone. Why use a trap that does not kill efficiently.
With the rain we have been getting, the chances are that any new mole activity is because their original feeding areas are flooded or waterlogged. If things dry out, the moles will go deeper, and you will not know they are there.

Just put an old cassette player near the hill, and play a Robbie Williams tape on repeat, that will get rid of them……….If you can stand the horrible noise yourself!

Sprinkle chocolate in the mole-run and repeat it for a week. After a week, sprinkle the chocolate on the grass area around the mole hill.
When the mole pops it's head out to look for the chocolate, smack it on the head.
We have Moles come and go as we have fields to the rear of our back garden. Without being too crude, but when you want that evening pee……Do it on the Mole hills.👍
