........and it's playing havoc with my garden
Any ideas please?
Yes.
A molecatcher, I,
and that is my trade.
I potter about
with my spunt and my spade
Molecatcher is, so I understand, an all-but-defunct vocation. Find one, hire one.
Pretty rare now. A mole catcher can easily earn over a fiver per mole from farmers and horsey types round my way. I think they would want more for a one off like Frodder’s Garden mole.

Who cares about some holes? Live and let live.

You surely can buy a mole trap. Dig down between the two newest mounds, find their tunnel, insert trap and close up. Some are tubes which humanely trap the mole, but the one I used was like a sort of bear trap which clamps the little fella as he tries to push through.
Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.

Trap humanely and re-locate if it's such a bother. The poor critter doesn't deserve to be killed for the oh so heinous crime of unknowingly messing up your garden by following its instincts.

I would never think of that. I don't want to hurt the little chap and just want him to relocate to the green belt just over the garden fence
