A mole's primary food source is earthworms, not grubs, so there's that. An option is to bury hardware cloth at the border, like an underground fence, as deep as you'd like. Twelve to eighteen inches if possible. When snipping the wire, I'd leave the bottom edge raw and flared, just out of spite.
Four boxes keep us free: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.

Use insecticide on the yard to kill the grubs and the moles should move on. Thats what the "Grass green chemical companies" want you to believe. Moles eat earthworms -God's- so aerating machines. What Warrior said is true, they can run Deep when they want to. Traps are your best choice.

When snipping the wire, I'd leave the bottom edge raw and flared, just out of spite. Not a bad idea. I wonder what the best trick is to get the trench dug for the hardware cloth... A pointed shovel I suppose.
