(I won't tell my method, folks laughed., so that is off the table.)
Someone a wrote open letter for moles in their yard.
Dear Mound Makers-
Look, I am keenly aware that you were here prior to me buying the
house. I am also aware that you were here before the house was built.
This land is your land…I get that.
The thing is that I’m stressed out about you taking over my lawn. I
don’t give a mole’s ass if you come up for air in the nooks and
crannies of my yard. They’re yours. But, please, for the love of god
and all things holy, leave my lawn alone.
I’ve researched several solutions to our co-habitation challenge:
however, experts agree that the only real solution is your demise. I
do have a trap out in the garage, in fact, it came with the house. I
don’t know if you or your friends have seen these things…they’re
terrifying. I’d be happy to show it to you if you’d like. I’ll leave
it by the large dirt mound (the one you favor) on my front lawn. Don’t
worry, I won’t set it; it’s simply for display and educational
purposes. Go ahead, touch it, get a feel for it. You know, I’ll even
leave a latte next to it so you can ponder your decision in comfort.
I’m hoping we can work this out in a civil fashion, and so, I would
appreciate a meeting of the minds with those in charge. Yes, take me
to your leader…the decision maker. Perhaps we can agree to a
homeopathic solution; one that won’t cause you any harm or discomfort.
Please consider my offer and respond accordingly.
Civilly yours,
Property Owner

Come on, tell me. I need something to laugh at other than the swiss cheese
masquerading as my front lawn.

Nope, no way. Not in front of ladies. Given this is your front yard
you might be arrested or committed ;-)) There is an old thread where
I spoke of this method.
Traps are the best; according to folks that use them.
Sorry!

A Mossberg 590A1 should work nicely. Pick a mound, stomp it down some, then
stake it out and wait for the soil to move.
