Getting rid of moles can be challenging due to their subterranean habits and ability to quickly tunnel through soil. Here are several methods you can try to manage and control mole populations in your yard:

1. Identify Active Tunnels

• Locate Molehills: Identify fresh molehills or surface tunnels to determine active feeding areas.

2. Physical Barriers and Exclusion

• Mole Barriers: Install underground barriers made of hardware cloth or wire mesh around garden beds or areas where moles are active. Bury the barrier at least 2 feet deep to prevent moles from burrowing underneath.

3. Natural Predators

• Encourage Predators: Create habitats that attract natural predators of moles, such as owls, hawks, snakes, and domestic cats. These predators help keep mole populations in check.

4. Trapping

• Mole Traps: Use mole traps specifically designed to catch and kill moles. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for placement and use. Place traps in active tunnels or near molehills.

5. Flooding

• Flood Tunnels: In some cases, flooding tunnels with water can temporarily disrupt mole activity. However, this may not be a long-term solution and can also damage your lawn.

6. Repellents

• Castor Oil: Apply castor oil-based repellents to the soil. These products create an unpleasant taste and odor that moles dislike. Reapply as directed on the product label.

7. Vibrating Devices

• Sonic Repellers: Install vibrating or sonic repellers that emit sound waves or vibrations into the soil. These devices can deter moles by disrupting their sensitive hearing and vibrations.

8. Professional Help

• Pest Control Services: If mole infestations are severe or persistent, consider contacting a professional pest control service that specializes in mole control. They can provide effective treatments and advice tailored to your specific situation.
