What Attracts Moles to Your Yard

Are Moles Dangerous?

Moles are not aggressive in nature and will do anything to avoid coming into contact with humans. These mammals are nearly blind but use their other senses to detect when people are nearby so that they can avoid them. However, it is not recommended that you try to physically remove moles from your yard because it is possible that they will bite in self-defense.

While moles are not any real threat to humans, they are certainly a threat to gardens and lawns. They are known to cause extensive damage to yards and landscapes in a very short amount of time. That makes early treatment the key to preventing massive amounts of damage to your property.

Identifying Mole Damage

Moles rarely cause structural damage to homes or businesses, but their underground activities can wreak havoc on your yard. Some common signs of mole damage include:

• Raised tunnels: Visible surface tunnels or ridges where moles have burrowed.
• Mounds of soil: Small, volcano-shaped mounds of dirt that indicate mole activity below.
• Damaged roots: Flower beds, shrubs, and trees can suffer from root damage as moles tunnel beneath them.
• Dead patches of grass: Mole tunnels disrupt the roots of grass, leading to uneven, damaged lawns.

If you see these signs, professional intervention is essential. At Enviro-Tech® Pest Services, our experts can assess the extent of mole damage and provide effective, humane solutions tailored to your needs.

Why Moles Are Drawn to Certain Yards

Moles are attracted to specific environmental factors, including:

• Moist, loose soil: Moles prefer damp environments where the soil is easy to dig through, and insects thrive.
• Abundant insect populations: Yards with high numbers of grubs, beetles, and earthworms are prime mole targets.
• Lush gardens and lawns: The healthier your yard, the more attractive it is to insects, which in turn draws moles.

By controlling insect populations and maintaining proper yard drainage, you can make your property less appealing to these pests.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moles and Mole Control

• What do moles eat, and why are they in my yard?
  Moles primarily eat earthworms, grubs, and other insects found in the soil. If your yard has a large population of these insects, it becomes an attractive food source for moles. They can consume their body weight in food daily, which keeps them constantly digging for more.
• How can I tell if I have moles in my yard?
  Look for telltale signs such as raised tunnels or ridges on the surface of your lawn, small volcano-shaped mounds of dirt, and areas of damaged grass or plant roots. These are strong indicators of mole activity beneath your soil.
• How can I prevent moles from coming into my yard?
  To prevent moles, reduce the insect population in your soil by using pest control measures, ensure proper yard drainage to avoid overly moist soil, and regularly aerate your lawn. These steps can make your yard less attractive to moles.
• How long does it take to remove moles from my yard?
  The time it takes to remove moles depends on the severity of the infestation. In most cases, professional services can start reducing mole activity within a few days, but complete removal and prevention may take longer, depending on the yard conditions.
