Moles, Why Now?

So it’s mid-December and the phone is ringing off the hook about moles.  Many homeowners in Delta believe that moles hibernate and are not active during late fall and winter months, well no! Their main permanent tunnels and nesting burrows are dug deep underground below the frost line allowing moles to still be active during the cold months. Those tunnels just under the surface of the lawn are made by male moles establishing a territory and looking for females. The females spend their time deeper in the soil in small cavities. Moles dig tunnels and nesting burrows deep into the ground. They also dig shallow tunnels just below the surface of the ground daily as they search for earthworms and insects; these are the tunnels that people can see and generally associate with mole activity.  Moles do not reuse these temporary tunnels and just continuously dig new ones each day in their search for food.  Unfortunately this habit causes extensive damage to your lawn.
