Moles 101
Our local moles have large paddle-like front feet used for digging tunnels as long as one kilometer a day. Although they may be virtually blind, they have amazingly sophisticated senses of touch and smell. These insect eating machines can cause considerable damage to lawns with dirt mounds and tunnels that damaged plant roots and create spongy lawns. Although they like grubs and insects their main food source is earthworms. Moles can rapidly inhabit and spread from one property to the next and the larger tunnel network the harder it is to control. Moles may briefly leave your lawn but when you least expect it they’re back. Over-watering lawns can bring soil insects closer to the surface and you can guess where the moles will be. Trapping is the only real way to control moles and the sooner the better.
