Moles eat insects, which include grubs, worms, and other things.
Usign a grub killer will not get rid of the moles.
And smoke boambs, poisioned peanuts, and the like don't have any affect.
There are a couple of ways to get rid of them.
Traps - need to be sure know which are the active runs and how to place them.
Mole SPECIFIC posions - these are fairly new - they use an INSECT BASED bait to carry the posion. Don't remember the name of any off hand.
Contact your County Cooperative Extension SErvice and get a recommendation about which products are available in your area and which work.
AFTER you get rid of this batch then you can use a repellant. They are castor oil based and there are some DIY recipes that you can find on the internet. Names like Mole BeGone and Mole Go.
But you need to get rid of them first and the repellents need to be periodically reapplied.
