Mole Problems: Keep the Moles Out of Your Yard
Can’t figure out why your home or office lawns are all torn up? Sounds like you may have a mole problem!

How to Identify Moles
Moles (Scalepus spp.) are not rodents, but relatives of the insectivores. In their search for food, moles burrow in lawns, meadows, stream banks, and open lots, creating extensive underground tunnels. They feed mainly on earthworms and insects. Only rarely seen above ground, moles are 4 to 9 inches long, including the tail, with long dark gray or brown fur. Eyes are tiny, like a pinhead, and the tail and feet are usually pink. They have no visible ears. There are seven species of moles in the United States.

Common Mole Damage to Yards
As they burrow, they sometimes damage plants, but the major problem with moles is the mounds and ridges that disfigure lawns. As they tunnel just below the surface, moles raise the sod up with their front digging feet, looking for food or new tunneling sites. They can push up surface tunnels at the rate of a foot per minute if the soil is loose. They prefer loose, moist soil shaded by vegetation.
