Has a mole problem wrecked your landscape?

A mole has some remarkable capabilities:

• In undisturbed soil, a mole can travel at the rate of 18 feet per hour.
• In a previously excavated tunnel, a mole can cover about 80 feet per minute.
• Moles can wreck havoc on your lawn in just one night.

From one perspective, moles tunneling through the yard can be beneficial if they’re chomping on worms and possibly an overabundance of destructive grubs (grubs are not the moles main food source). And it might be viewed as a form of turf aeration, but who wants to look out over a landscape of mole tunnels?

So what are you going to do about it?

Well, you could call the professionals at Greenlawn especially when moles are most active in the spring and fall.

Or you could sit around and jawbone with the neighbors about all the home remedies that don’t work, such as placing broken glass, motor oil or hair in the tunnels. Many of these home remedies are dangerous to people or the environment. The only reason such methods may appear to be effective is that moles are continually on the move to other locations. Once a mole has eaten its way across your yard in a foraging tube, it starts excavating another.
