Possibly you're like me. You spend a lot of time attempting to make your yard beautiful. You apply fertilizer and herbicides, seed and over-seed until you finally have a lush lawn.
And then you start to feel soft areas in your yard, and mounds of dirt seem to appear out of nowhere!
Mole damage in the yard is one of the most frustrating things a homeowner can encounter. Moles hills can cause lawn "scalping" as you cut your grass, and mole tunnels can create hazardous footing. Moles also do tremendous damage to lawns as they tear the roots of your grass while creating new tunnels. These torn roots cause the grass to die, hence the brown areas in your lawn.
Many of our mole trapping clients see the damage in their yard, and assume there are "a herd of moles" causing the damage. Unbelievably, one single mole can create 80 feet of new tunnel every 24 hours!
What may seem to you like 6 to 10 moles in a 1/4 acre yard is most likely to be only 2 to 4 animals. I know that is small comfort when you are seeing mole damage, but it is a solvable problem.
Moles can eat half their body weight in insects every day, which explains why they are constantly tunneling. These insatiable creatures are small, grey in color, 5-7 inches in length with very poor eyesight. They spend most of their life beneath ground searching for and consuming insects, worms, grubs, etc.
Mole "hills" (they look like dirt volcanoes) indicate deep mole activity. Moles usually form these mole hills as they excavate toilet, eating and sleeping areas.
Mole trapping has been shown to be the most efficient way to remove these pests from your lawn. Of course there are many home remedies you can find on the internet. To name a few, juicy fruit gum, castor oil, poison peanuts, and in extreme cases, a pitchfork or a shotgun!
To effectively, quickly and safely remove moles we use lethal style traps, placed in the proper areas and to an exact depth. When correctly implemented, these traps will catch the mole beneath ground and quickly dispatch the animal. We use a number of traps that is determined by the size of the yard.
Quarter acre properties receive 6-12 traps, 1/2 acre yards are effectively covered by 10- 20 traps, and on and up. These traps are then checked on a regular basis and rotated to new areas of activity.
Mole trapping requires a pretty steep learning curve. A lot of our clients have already tried many of the remedies mentioned above.
If you would like fast results, contact a wildlife removal expert. That should give you your yard back and put an end to your frustration!
