How to Get Rid of Moles in Your Lawn
The presence of moles in your yard is a signal that you have a grub worm problem. While foraging for food (grub worms), moles create tunnels that may eventually crisscross your lawn. This tunneling destroys grass roots, so the above-ground ridges brown quickly.
Despite numerous tunnels, your lawn is probably home to just one mole. In fact, moles build new tunnels constantly and may not use the same one twice. If you look carefully, you may find the mole entry and exit mounds. These are round, conical, fan- shaped or irregular in appearance and the hole usually has dirt in it but is still visible. Moles use these repeatedly.
Control hints: Before your try any other control, consider using Dursban, which can be purchased at any lawn and garden store, and applied to your lawn. While waiting for the Dursban or other grubicide to work, place a wad of human hair and moth crystals in several of the runs- and watch the moles run. If that doesn't work, trapping, baits, mole repellents and fumigation are other options.
