Mole Removal - A single mole in your yard can really be aggravating. Mole damage to a yard can add up quick. Most homeowners are confused on all the different rumors on home remedies or control methods out there. Castor beans, Juicy Fruit gum, human hair, sonic noise makers, Drano, moth balls and poison peanuts are just a few things that people try to no avail. Spending time on these items will just give the moles time to colonize and get a well established tunnel network throughout your yard making them harder to remove. Scientific studies have shown that trapping is the only effective method of control. The traps we use kill the mole and dead moles do not reproduce! The eastern mole which is the most common in Illinois is an insectivore. Their main food source is earthworms but also feed on grubs, beetles, ants and the likes of. An adult mole will be around 6 inches long and weighs about 5 ounces. Their eyes and ears do not protrude out. Their front shoulders are very well muscled to help them dig new or existing tunnels. A mole can travel up to 80 feet per hour in existing tunnels and 15 feet of making new ones. Feeding tunnels or runs that you see leave a raised ridge on the surface of a yard. Main tunnels are usually deeper and cannot be seen. Sometimes mounds of dirt are pushed up from these to get the excess dirt out of their tunnels and out of their way. Mole hills or mounds usually appear when the ground is getting very dry. Their food source is deeper during dry times. Moles make more surface runs during rainy and wet conditions mainly in the spring and fall looking for the food source. They are active all year long but stay below the frost line during the winter months. Moles have 1 litter a year ranging from 2 to 6 young in the spring of the year. I am a professional mole trapper and I have different trapping packages that are suited to your yard size and amount of mole damage. No yard is too small or too big. Commercial properties are also welcome. Email or call me for more information and trapping package prices. |
