1. Castor Beans

I haven't actually tried this method, but the Gardener Guy on HGTV says mole repellent with castor beans as an ingredient is very effective. It doesn't hurt them, it just drives them to the neighbor's yard. You can buy it in granular form, or try making your own. Or you can plant them.

Castor Bean Mole Repellent
1/4 cup castor oil
2 tablespoons liquid detergent
6 tablespoons water

Blenderize the castor oil and detergent until the mixture is like shaving cream. Add water and mix again. Fill a regular garden sprinkling can with warm water and add 2 tablespoons of oil mixture. Stir and sprinkle liquid over areas of greatest damage. For best results, apply after a rain or a thorough watering.

3. According to the website it is

I don't know about the homemade stuff. Castor oil is taken for various home remedies, so I would think it would be safe. You may want to do a little research first just to make sure.
