Mole Control

Mole Control Strategies

As part of Wildlife Removal Pros, based in Lexington, Kentucky, we’ve encountered our fair share of wildlife challenges. Among them, mole control represents a unique and recurring task. Moles, while small, can cause significant damage to lawns and gardens, making effective control methods essential. From mole traps to natural remedies, we’ve explored a variety of solutions to keep these critters at bay.

Mole Traps

Understanding Mole Behavior: Effective mole control begins with understanding mole behavior. Moles are solitary creatures, and their presence is often indicated by the network of tunnels and mounds they leave behind. Using traps is one of the most efficient methods for removing moles from your property. There are different types of traps available, including scissor, spear, and loop traps. Each type has its own mechanism for catching moles as they move through their tunnels.

Mole Repellents

Natural and Chemical Repellents: Another approach involves using repellents to deter moles from entering your property. Natural repellents can include castor oil-based products, which disrupt moles’ digestive systems, encouraging them to move elsewhere. Chemical repellents, on the other hand, provide a stronger but less environmentally friendly solution. It’s important to apply these products according to the instructions to minimize harm to other wildlife.

Mole Poison

A Last Resort: While not our first recommendation due to the potential risks to non-target animals and the environment, mole poison is an option for severe infestations. These poisons often mimic the moles’ natural food sources, such as worms. If you choose to use poison, we strongly advise proceeding with caution and considering the safety of pets and children.

Mole Deterrents

Preventive Measures: Deterrents focus on making the environment less appealing to moles. This can include reducing the availability of their food sources by controlling insect populations in your lawn. Additionally, planting certain plants that moles dislike, such as daffodils and marigolds, can serve as a natural deterrent.

Mole Extermination

Professional Solutions: For persistent mole problems, professional extermination may be necessary. Our team at Wildlife Removal Pros is equipped with the expertise and tools to effectively remove moles from your property. We prioritize humane methods and aim to relocate these animals whenever possible.

Natural Mole Control Methods

• Introducing predators: Encouraging the presence of natural predators, like owls, can help control mole populations.
• Biological control: Applying beneficial nematodes to the soil can reduce mole food sources by eliminating grubs and insects.
• Physical barriers: Installing underground barriers at the edges of gardens can prevent moles from entering the area.

Electronic Mole Control Devices

Modern Solutions: Technology offers new ways to deter moles, including ultrasonic devices and vibratory stakes. These gadgets create an uncomfortable environment for moles, encouraging them to leave the area. While results can vary, these devices offer a non-toxic approach to mole control.
