Why Do I Have Moles in My Yard?

Moles are attracted to properties that offer a suitable environment for them to thrive. Several factors contribute to mole infestations, and understanding these can help you take preventative measures.

Key factors that make a yard a mole haven include:

Soil type: Moles prefer moist, loose soil that is easy to tunnel through. Sandy or loamy soils are particularly attractive to them.
Food source: The primary diet of moles consists of earthworms, grubs, and other soil-dwelling insects. A yard with a healthy population of these creatures will naturally attract moles.
Lack of predators: Natural predators of moles, such as owls, snakes, and coyotes, may be scarce in urban or suburban areas, allowing mole populations to grow unchecked.
Favorable conditions: Lawns with thick thatch or excessive watering create an ideal environment for earthworms and grubs, which in turn attracts moles.

Identifying the specific factors contributing to mole activity on a property is crucial in developing a targeted and effective control strategy. Our experienced technicians can assess a yard, pinpoint the causes of the infestation, and recommend the most suitable solutions to eliminate moles and prevent their return.

What Are the Different Mole Control Methods?

There are various methods for controlling mole populations, each with its own advantages and limitations. Our experts will assess the specific situation and recommend the most appropriate approach for the property.

Common mole control methods include:

Trapping: This involves setting traps in active mole tunnels to capture and remove moles. It's a highly effective method for targeted mole removal.
Baiting: Using poisonous baits can be effective in eliminating moles, but it's crucial to select baits that are safe for children, pets, and non-target wildlife.
Repellents: Certain substances, such as castor oil and garlic, are believed to repel moles. While repellents can be helpful, their effectiveness can vary.
Exclusion: Creating physical barriers, such as underground fencing, can prevent moles from entering a property. This is often used in conjunction with other control methods.

It's important to note that DIY mole control methods are often unsuccessful and can even worsen the problem. Professional mole control services have the expertise and experience to implement the most effective strategies for long-term mole control.

What Can I Do to Prevent Moles in the Future?

Preventing mole infestations requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses the factors that attract them to a property. Start by reducing the food source. Maintaining a healthy lawn with proper fertilization and aeration can help control grub and insect populations. Adjusting watering habits to avoid over-saturation can also make a yard less appealing to these pests.

Consider incorporating natural repellents like castor oil granules or planting mole-repelling plants such as marigolds and daffodils. Creating physical barriers, like buried wire mesh, can deter moles from entering the yard. Finally, regular monitoring and early intervention are crucial. Keep an eye out for signs of mole activity and contact us promptly at the first indication of an infestation. Our expert technicians can provide ongoing maintenance and preventative solutions to ensure a yard remains mole-free.
