Why Raised Tunnels Appear Across Your Lawn
Moles spend most of their time underground searching for earthworms and other soil organisms. Lawns and landscaped areas that receive regular watering may provide suitable conditions for this activity. The tunnels they leave behind can make the ground look uneven without causing the same type of damage associated with gophers.
Raised Ridges Through the Grass
Moles can create shallow tunnels that push soil upward, leaving narrow ridges across the lawn. These raised sections may follow different paths as the mole moves through the ground. We examine the tunneling patterns to help identify areas showing recent activity.
Soil Mounds and Soft Ground
Deeper tunnels may produce piles of soil, while shallow tunneling can leave certain areas soft underfoot. We look at the shape and location of the disturbed soil to determine whether moles or another burrowing pest may be responsible.
Treating the Tunnels That Are Still Active
Not every visible tunnel is being used. Before recommending treatment, we examine the affected areas and look for signs of current movement. This helps us determine where to focus the service rather than treating every raised section of the lawn.
Trapping Method
We locate an active tunnel and place a specialized mole trap along the travel path. The goal is to target the areas where the mole is moving underground. We’ll explain the trapping process and whether additional visits may be necessary.
Baiting Method
Baiting may be another option when the tunnel conditions are suitable. We identify active travel areas and determine whether baiting would be an appropriate treatment for your property. The recommended method depends on what we find during the inspection.
