For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I've read a couple of website about this and here are some suggestions. I've no idea if any of them work but there's no harm in trying them out.
1 - Pour urine / or urinate on the mole hills (apparently they don't like the smell)
2 - Stick childrens windmills in the holes (apparently they don't like the vibrations)
3 - Cover a pine cone in creosote and push it stem down into the run, stem down. (apparently they don't like the smell and can't push them back out)
If in doubt :
4 - Ask a farmer to recommend a mole man
or
5 - Use a mole trap. : http://www.gardenaction.co.uk/techniques/pests /mole_green_control_owen1.asp
Although none of these are instant solutions, it may take weeks if not months or years to finally get rid of moles.

Well said coco pops!!! as an ex professional Mole Trapper (the only one in Devon) I have seen all the methods you can think of and all the above and loads more!!!
It needs to be killed, either trap it yourself or get someone to trap it for you. The humane traps are a complete waste of money and in my opinion totally inhumane!!!!
