Victor Mole and Gopher Solar Powered Sonic Spike.
Stick it in your yard and watch all the mole tunnels move into your neighbors yards

I had them at my last house. Tried everything from poison, traps, and sticking a hose in the hole running water in it. Nothing worked. Ended up moving so it was the new owners problem.
They have now infiltrated my new yard and I am fighting them again.

Moles are actually territorial so it's like 1 or 2 at a time.
I've used these with huge success and it's fun as shite to see the trap has been triggered:

I've killed a half dozen or so with those scissor-like traps.
This is the way.
Just make sure it's a fresh tunnel and put it in correctly.

This thread is depressing. I have about 1.5 non wooded hillside acres and those freaking tunnels are everywhere.
Because my property backs to a thousand acres of woods I don't see how I can reasonably expect them to stop coming into my yard. They're in the beds, in the really nice turf areas and really just everywhere.
ETA I used to have a really good dog at getting the moles but he passed 7 years ago. He was relentless and sometimes I wondered if the mess he made getting to them was worth it.

If you get 4-5 of these traps and just walk the property looked for fresh tunnels, you'll continue to kill the things. Last year, I got home from a 10 day vacation and my previously immaculate yard looked like the military had dropped bombs trying to kill graboids. I also almost sprained my ankle a couple times walking my property and falling into tunnels that weren't apparent from the surface. The damage was insane.
I set these traps for a couple months and killed 10-12 of them. They are territorial and solitary so when you kill 1 a new one will move in, but you likely won't kill 2 in the same area at the same time unless they're mating.
ETA:
I'm in East Tennessee and when we had the huge cicada hatch with two broods, the moles had an all your can eat buffet. At least that's what my pest guy said. I had never seen it like that since or after.

I purchased an 8 pak of solar powered mole repellant spikes. Once I receive and install them I'll get back to you.
A friend at work told me as long as you ride a mower over the area at least evey 2 weeks or so they'll disappear. I guess the ground vibration effects them.
