This summer, the moles that were just a minor nuisance in the past, became a major problem. I could hardly walk in my back yard without tripping into the holes they were leaving in my lawn. They were so active that my grass was not growing properly and it was getting difficult to mow. I sprayed the castor oil over the entire back and side yard and in one or two spots in the front yard where I noticed mole activity. Within a few days, I noticed a decrease in mole activity and within about a week and a half, I saw no new evidence of the moles. Probably three weeks after that, I could see that they were returning and I treated the lawn again. Since that time, which is probably two months now, I haven't seen any more new activity. I had tried every other method of mole control I could find.
In reading reviews, I noticed that some people are disappointed that one application won't permanently rid their yard of moles. That is never going to happen. They are industrious, determined little creatures and this battle is going to go on forever. If I had to spray every single month during the season, it would still be worthwhile for me. I guess it just depends on how bad the mole problem is and how much it bothers any individual person. I enjoy my yard too much to cede it over to the moles. I am glad, however, that I didn't actually have to kill them to regain my back yard.
Also, I ordered one of these spray gadgets and several quarts of plain castor oil and just refilled this dispenser. It was a little less expensive that way. Either way, it is much less expensive than dealing with professional exterminators (and they can't guarantee that the moles won't return either.)

Sweeney's 1 Quart Ready-To-Spray Mole and Gopher Repellent
Moles be gone
Drive away moles, voles and gophers from lawns and ornamentals with Sweeney’s easy-to-use Mole & Gopher Repellent. The highly effective liquid repellent is 100 percent castor oil – when soaked into soil it works to contaminate the moles underground food source (earthworms, grubs and insects). Long-lasting, the poison-free repellent can safely be used around children and pets.
Easy-to-apply
To apply repellent, simply attach a garden hose tightly to the self-dispensing container and adjust the nozzle to mix. Turn water supply on to full pressure and spray the product over mole-infested areas. Repellent should be sprayed at a rate of one quart of product per 10,000 square feet (e.g. a 100 feet by 100 feet square).
After the repellent is sprayed on area to be treated, adjust the container nozzle to 'water' and continue to spray with water to soak the product into the soil (approximately 20 minutes).
When-to-apply
Treat all areas immediately after the presence of moles is detected. The presence of moles may be indicated by a network of surface ridges or by a series of conical mounds of earth pushed up from deep burrows. Treat lawn in early Spring, mid-Summer and early Fall.
