It is often very difficult to detect a mole problem because homeowners rarely, if ever, see the actual moles that are wreaking havoc on their yards. In the event that homeowners do recognize a problem, it is usually when they notice that moles have made a mess of their backyard. Moles are very good at digging, and they work hard, digging their tunnels and creating molehills all throughout a yard. The holes moles create are unsightly, but they pose serious hazards, as well. Any time a homeowner is in the yard, they can step into them and twist their ankle or suffer from another injury. Pets and children are especially susceptible to these injuries.
Moles are very difficult for homeowners to get rid of on their own. This job should always be left to a Lake St. Louis mole control specialist.
Recognizing a Mole Problem
Even though homeowners typically never see the moles that are tearing up their yard, there are still certain signs moles leave behind to alert people of their presence.
One of the most recognizable signs that moles are in the yard are the holes they dig. In order to get underground to dig their tunnels, moles have to first create a hole. Moles like to dig tunnels so that they can either hunt or nest. The deeper they make the tunnel, the higher the molehill will be that they leave behind.
However, it is not only holes and hills homeowners should watch out for. Even when moles only dig shallow holes, there are still signs that they have been in the yard. Shallow holes and tunnels leave small ridges in the yard, which pose tripping hazards and are just as unsightly as the larger holes.
Preventing Mole Problems
There is one reason moles decide to invade a yard and create their tunnels. They not only need a place to live, but they also need food and they go into yards in search of that food. Moles feed on grubs, earthworms, and other insects so it can be difficult to make a yard undesirable for moles. Getting rid of grubs will not usually control moles in the yard, but there may be other benefits, since these pests can cause extensive damage to trees, grass, and other plants.
Moles also feed on ants and other lawn insects. As such, it is beneficial when homeowners can determine which pests are invading their yard and using a product to eliminate them. This is also a large deterrent to moles but, when moles are only looking for a place to live, they may still invade the space.
