From what I've read, it's quite hard to poison them because they only eat live worms and grubs.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

I got the idea from this guy who tried loads of things, including a repeller, but nothing kept them away. He then tried burying a loud speaker, connected to a high power amplifier, and playing very loud music (Celine Dion and Cher!), and this seemed to do the trick.

The missus doesn't want to kill them, so I've been researching non-lethal methods of getting rid of them. There's a lot of old wives tale remedies but nothing that really works. Most people have reported poor results with the sonic mole chasers you can buy.
A German guy tried electrifying his garden but that ended very badly (for him, not the moles).

A guy on a US forum tried running a hose from the exhaust of his truck into the tunnels, but all he ended up doing was damaging the engine.
I was going to try what this guy eventually found to work (Celine Dion!) but opted for a slight variation.

A couple of weeks ago I stuck this siren (louder than a smoke alarm) in a metal tin, then hooked it up to an old car battery and buried it in one of the tunnels. So far, so good.
