I've got EIGHT (count them, EIGHT) mole repellers in my 20m square garden, 4 which rattle and 4 which give off a tone. This morning I opened my curtains and there in the middle of my newly laid lawn was another hill. How the hell do you get rid of them? |FC
Getting rid of moles

Call into your local Golf Course and ask the Head Greenkeeper who on his crew would like a drink for sorting the problem. Many courses have a registered poisons person for just that purpose. On the one I worked at there were 2 people registered to use the "Banned to the public" chemicals and poisons.
Swivel chair and shot gun.
Go to youtube, and look for "jasper carrot moles"...
My grandfather used to get up at 4am as the daylight starts appearing, and sit watching the lawn. As a mole hill rises up, you whack it hard with a heavy spade. That's the end of that mole.

Concrete over the bloody lot.
Mole Grips?
Don't laugh. Once I had a Guy Fawkes barbecue, and saw one of the buggers scrabbling around. I grabbed it in the tongs, and pretended to drop it on the fire, but actually dropped it in the ground behind.
Years later I was told that everybody believed I had burnt it.
So it's dark when you're popping off at these things, or you wouldn't need a torch.
I'm glad it isn't _my_ neighbour setting of a 12 bore at 4 am!

Hmm, I bet someone could rig up a little robot with a vision system to do that automatically... just randomly pootles around the garden, unattended, clobbering anything that appears...
