When homeowners begin to see raised ridges, mounds, and trails making a mess of their landscaping – moles are likely to blame. Moles are small mammals that live underground, surviving on a diet of insects. If you want to know how to get rid of moles in your yard – keep reading!

Moles’ mating season is early spring, so we’re more likely to see evidence of their presence around this time of year. When you see unsightly trails and damage to your garden, call in the experts at Monitor Pest Control to quickly identify if moles are causing your damage and create a plan to eliminate them. Moles can destroy the root systems in well-manicured lawns and gardens, so you need to act fast if you think you have moles.

Identifying a mole problem

We look for mounds (“molehills”) and trails along the surface and deep tunnels a few inches underground that cause sunken areas.  

How to get rid of moles

While DIY methods of getting rid of moles can work, it can be hard to capture them because of their underground movements. 

• Use insecticide to get rid of their food supply
• Catch and release with baited traps
• Scare them away with ultrasonic noise
• Deter moles with certain plants, repellents, and physical barriers
• Invite a cat into the garden to patrol for pests
