What Happened To My Yard!

Does this look like your lawn? I hope not. Moles can make your lawn look like it went through the shredder!

When you see large mounds such as this, it means the moles are deep underground due to lack of rain. Moles travel with the nightcrawlers (worms). When the rain brings them to the surface the moles will also come to feed at the surface. But when the soil begins to dry out the moles will once again go deep after their favorite source of food.

Trapping is the best way to rid your yard of these pests. By trapping them you visually see the results of your control program at work.

A maintenance program is recommended as other moles will return from nearby properties. If you live near the woods you stand a better chance of getting moles in your lawn as moles are generally woodland creatures.

Once the moles are removed you can enjoy a beautiful lawn once again.
