Placing ultrasonic devices or noisemakers such as spinning daisies near the runs are often effective.Use a humane trap, and release the moles at least 5 miles from your home in a rural area away from someone else’s garden. Frankly, this is often the only way to get rid of moles. If you have a persistent mole problem, the best solution is trapping.Surface tunnels or ridges also indicate mole activity.They will look like raised volcano-shaped swellings in your yard. Their tunnels are usually at least ten inches underground, unless they’re scanning the surface in search of a mate. Check your soil and lawn for their tunnels. Unlike vegetarian voles, moles dig deep.Moles usually feed on insect pests, grubs, and soil organisms, including beneficial ones like earthworms.
They are usually about 7 inches in length and weigh about 4 ounces. Their hind feet or more narrow and have slender claws. They have very large and broad forefeet with webbed toes. Their small eyes and ear canals are concealed by fur, and they do not have external ears. Moles have the distinguishing characteristic of a hairless, pointed snout. They prefer moist, loamy soil and are most active in the early morning or evening in the spring or fall they also come out after a warm rain. In motion they actually swim along underground, using wide front flippers to part the soil as they go. Moles are surprising little mammals with pointed muzzles, tiny eyes, and bodies shaped like Idaho potatoes.
