I sympathize with your mole issues. I have had them destroy my dwarf Monkey Grass in trails. If you don't pound down their surface tunnels, the roots on lawns stay exposed and die. The sad thing is my Left Neighbor's lawn is unhealthy and that is what attracts them. We have a healthy lawn and they scoot over to our house for their dessert.

I hear they live 4-5 feet below the surface and what we see are only the feeding tunnels. I have flooded out the tunnel before and caught one. I saw it running across the street. I didn't want my Across-the-Street Neighbor to have moles so I grabbed the closest tool I was working with and killed it. It was my red wagon! Rolling on the floor laughing

I have been using Sweeney's Mole Repellent and it seems to work. Trouble is you chase them away to your neighbor's yard and they come back first chance they get! I am tired of reapplying the repellent and going to try the worm-like poison. There is a inverted cone container of mole poison also put out by Sweeney's that supposedly works well, too. I hope I don't wake up to a lawn full of dead moles. But then again, I hope do! I would much rather they die in their under ground tunnel so I don't see nor smell them.
