There are a number of products that incorporate castor oil, either as sprays or as granular applications. Moles and other rodents are supposed to find them disgusting and leave the area. I haven't tried them myself.

someone once told me to put fish heads and fish bodies in the ground. They said they can smell the rotting fish and it repels them. I havent tried it yet because my boyfriend is trying to trap them. good luck

I've heard of putting a wad of chewed bubble gum down the holes. It's not a happy thing for the moles. I've also heard of vinegar and baking soda which is harmless to everything else, but they might just run and make a hole somewhere else. I heard a guy on TV say to put an ear bud hooked up to a transistor radio down the hole and blast it on loud music. It's supposed to scare them off. You can also pour bleach down the holes and then cover them back up and pack them tightly.
I don't like the poisin thing because we have so many birds and cats and stray animals.
The vinegar and baking soda really make a lot of foam.
I hope you get some great responses!

Castor oil may work, there's Molex, but it is a poison, we had them in our old house, our Golden retriever enjoyed many games of Wack-a-Mole! The castor oil is suposed to make them move elsewhere, it didn't work for us, and we were infested, they were living in the gutter downspouts, as much as I hated it I used the molex and that was the end of it (sorry God!). good luck!

we used poison peanuts and they worked pretty well. You just have to make sure your kids and/or pets stay away from them.
