With kids around, I can't recommend "mole purge", a poisonous plant
that will repel them.  However, there is another way.  With gloved
hands (to keep human scent off), unwrap and roll up a few pieces of
Juicy Fruit chewing gum.  Find several recent tunnels, and poke a 
hole in them with a stick, place gum in the tunnel, and cover back
up with dirt.  The moles (and mice) like the gum, but it is indigestible
and kills them.  We are trying this at a friend's garden now (we don't
have mole problems), so I can't claim person experience of its
efficacy, but what can it cost?
