Understanding Ground Moles
Ground moles are small mammals that dig tunnels underground and create molehills on the surface. They feed on insects and earthworms, which is why they are attracted to lawns and gardens rich in soil life. Ground moles have sharp claws and powerful digging abilities, making it challenging to get rid of them.
Signs of Ground Moles
Molehills: Small mounds of soil on the surface of your lawn or garden. Tunnels: Raised ridges or surface tunnels created by moles as they move underground. Wilting plants: Damage to plants due to mole activity disrupting root systems.
Effective Ways to Get Rid of Ground Moles
1. Trapping: Using humane traps designed for ground moles to catch and relocate them. 2. Repellents: Applying natural or commercial repellents to deter moles from your property. 3. Flooding: Flooding mole tunnels with water to drive them out of their burrows. 4. Habitat Modification: Removing sources of food and shelter to discourage moles from staying in your yard. 5. Professional Help: Seeking assistance from pest control experts for a tailored mole removal plan.
