Seasonal Top Tips from The Verminator:
Moles can be very troublesome and can literally drive you nuts!
The common mole is an insectivore, not a rodent. Its diet is restricted to ground invertebrates such as grubs, millipedes, ants and the like. However, the mole's primary food source is the earthworm, so trying to control lawn insects with chemicals is no protection from mole activity. The activity in certain
lawns can simply come and go throughout the season. On large properties the mole may move from one part of the lawn to another. This movement or migrating is controlled by climate and ground moisture. Moles will adapt to changes in food supply and source as different insects become available in different places and at different times throughout the year.
There is a lot of conflicting "advice" on mole control. You believe, and hope.. every rumour, home remedy or control method is worth trying. In fact, chemicals and home remedies are not only ineffective when dealing with moles, they allow the animals time to establish and become a real problem. Moles are woodland animals in nature, but can quickly colonise and spread through adjacent residential properties if not handled properly. Since they need a well-established tunnel network to survive, the longer they're allowed to tunnel, the more habituated they become and difficult to control.
Trapping is the only effective method of control.
