Economically, I'd guess you deprive them of all sources of income.

Ask your dematologist.

Now if they are not on your skin and in your lawn, you might try putting some mothballs in their furrows. I tried that and they were gone for awhile. Been told that moles are there because there are grubs in your lawn and unless you get rid of their food source you wont get rid of the moles.

I had moles/gophers in California. Tried to economically get rid of them for several years. Nothing worked. Eventually, we called the pest control guy, and he dropped poison pellets down each hole. He charged me over $100 to do the initial care and it also covered 3 more visits. I called him immediately after his initial visit when I saw a new gopher mound appear. I followed the pest control guy around the lawn until he took care of every mound I saw. I used up all three visits in one month. This finally took care of the problem. If your neighbors don't do the same, they'll travel to your lawn, and you'll have to call the pest guy every spring when they reproduce.

Our best ever mole control was a cat. Other than having her display her catches on the porch, she did a great job. Once she passed we got a product called Mole Patrol. This is a pelletized poison that you pour into the tunnel.

Ever watched Caddy Shack?

When I was a kid, we had a dog that would dig up the moles. She would get her nose down in the tunnel and just dig and dig and follow the tunnel until she found the mole and would kill it. It was funny to watch her work. She had ditches all over our yard.
