The Top 4 Solutions to Pesky Lawn Moles

Moles won't eat the plants in your yard or garden, but they can still cause damage. The tunnel systems that moles build damage plant roots. The result is dead or dying plants and grass. 

To protect your yard from lawn moles, you need to learn how to get rid of moles and prevent them from coming back. If lawn moles are in your yard, then they're most likely there because of a food source. Grubs and other insects are a lawn mole's main meal. 

To start, you can begin to limit the number of insects in your yard. Then, continue reading below. Here are several mole removal methods to consider. 

1. Install Mole Netting

Moles travel via an underground tunnel system they create. These tunnels aren't too far below the surface level. They use these tunnels to travel through your yard, eating grubs, bugs, and other insects. 

To prevent lawn moles from being able to tunnel through your yard, you can install mole netting. Mole netting is usually made with plastic and is installed underground before you lay grass down. The lawn moles then can't dig through the soil and will choose another yard as their victim. 

2. Use Sonic Pulses

You can also deter lawn moles from tunneling in your yard by sending sonic pulses through the soil. To do this, you'll need a solar-powered sonic pulse creator. These are stakes you place into the ground. 

They use the sun as power so you won't have to worry about recharging. Learn how many square feet one sonic pulse creator covers and then purchase the right number of them required to cover your entire yard. The benefit of using this lawn-mole deterrent is that it won't cause harm to your lawn, pets, wildlife, or the lawn moles themselves. 

3. Eliminate Their Shelter

Lawn moles feel most comfortable and safe when they're hiding. They don't like to spend too much time out in the open, which explains why they travel via a tunnel system. If your yard is full of clutter and debris, then lawn moles will feel welcomed there. 

Eliminate their shelter and your yard will become less attractive to them. To do this, make sure you keep the grass mowed and maintain your garden, trees, and hedges. Avoid overwatering as well as this can attract insects, which then attract lawn moles.

4. Contact Pest Control
