Signs of Mole Activity
Moles spend most of their time underground, so the damage they leave behind is often the first sign of a problem. We examine the raised soil, tunnel patterns, and affected areas to determine whether moles are responsible.
Raised Ridges Across the Grass
Moles can create shallow tunnels that push the soil upward, leaving narrow ridges across lawns. These may appear in areas where the soil stays moist from regular irrigation. We look at the tunnel patterns to help determine where the animal may be traveling.
Mounds and Uneven Ground
Some mole tunnels run deeper underground, leaving piles of soil at the surface. Other areas may feel soft or uneven when walked on. We inspect the affected sections of the yard to distinguish possible mole activity from gopher damage.
Finding the Tunnels That Are Still Active
Moles may create several tunnels, but they don’t necessarily continue using all of them. We look for signs of current activity so treatment can be directed toward the areas where the mole is traveling.
Trapping Method
When trapping is appropriate, we locate an active tunnel and place a specialized trap along the travel path. This allows us to focus on the areas showing activity rather than placing traps throughout the yard.
Baiting Method
Baiting may be recommended when the tunnel conditions are suitable. We identify active areas and determine whether baiting or trapping is the better option based on what we find during the inspection.
