I have moles that contantly pop up the bricks under a walkway (bricks in
sand). I don't want to kill the moles. I just want them to go somewhere
else.

On Monday, I poured a gallon of ammonia down one five feet away, I poured a
gallon of bleach into another hole.

So far the moles haven't returned but while I'm waiting, I was wondering if
anyone had other advice for getting rid of pesky moles.

Two thoughts come to mind.
1) Google search
2) Moles, like squirrels, are a dynamic population. Whatever
you do, will be necessary to do for the rest of your life.

Have a neighbor with an inside-only cat? Ask them for some
urine-soaked litter and pour some into each hole and then
pour in some sand to plug it up. I sent a colony of mice in
search of a new home this way.

A frisky cat might do the job. Raw bacon and mouse traps will
temporarily reduce the population. Tape off one square foot of lawn
and dig out 2-4 inches--if you can find more than ONE grub in a square
foot, use a good grub control product on your lawn and the moles will
go elsewhere.

Get rid of food source. Typically they love grubs. I've heard they will
also go after flower bulbs. Milky Spore (natural and harmless to plants,
birds, aquatics) will rid grubs for 10+years but takes time to establish.
Google it for info.

You have woods nearby?
Bulb beds near walk?

Don't those chemicals combine to make something like phosgene, the deadly
gas from WW1?

I can't remember the name of it, but some years ago at the hardware store, I
found a thing that looks like a big firecracker (1/2" x 5"). I think 4 in a
package for under $10. It's a smoke bomb. I went right to the checkout
counter with it after reading the package down to where it said "light the
fuse..." ;-) Figured it had to be fun. And it actually worked.

Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) combined with ammonia produces
chlorine gas. Bad stuff!

This individual has found some amusing attempts!

Yes, chlorine gas is bad stuff, but I wouldn't worry about it outside.
Not that I'd linger in the area, but the chlorine gas would quickly
react with stuff in the air.

Don't want to kill the moles? Oh brother. Come back when you get
serious.
