The moles are having a great time hunting the grubs in your lawn. If you get rid of the grubs, you should be rid of the moles. The time to treat for grubs is when the forsythia is blooming. I have used diluted castor oil in the mole holes and runs to encourage them to leave. This will drive them to some other part of your property. Good luck!

I've used a mix of Tabasco sauce, vinegar and water poured around their holes. It also keeps dogs away from my gardens. smile
I guess I'm lucky, my neighbour's cat takes care of most of the rodents here now.
