Protect Your Lawn with Professional Mole Removal from Peachtree Pest Control
Your yard is a place to enjoy, not a buffet for pests– even the ones you can’t see. Right under your feet, moles spend hours building extensive homes and tunnels in your soil. Eventually, they will erupt through your grass for air. If you’ve noticed raised ridges snaking through your lawn or small dirt mounds popping up overnight, you might be dealing with a mole infestation. Not only is this a cosmetic nuisance, but moles can cause long-term harm to your lawn.
What Damage Do Moles Cause?
Moles might be small, but they can cause serious destruction to your turf. These elusive, burrowing mammals tunnel beneath the surface in search of food. Their diet mainly consists of insects, grubs, and earthworms. These pests’ constant digging creates unsightly ridges across your yard and can destroy the root systems of plants and grass. While this damage often looks like the work of a large group of pests, in reality, just one to three moles can cause significant destruction.
Common signs of a mole infestation include:
- Raised mounds of dirt at tunnel entrances
- Crisscrossing ridges across the lawn or garden beds
- Spongy or uneven ground underfoot
- Discolored or dying grass patches
- Increased weed growth in damaged areas
Mole activity typically increases during spring’s rainy season because their food sources are closer to the surface. However, they are active year-round, do not hibernate, and, contrary to popular belief, are not nocturnal. If you’re seeing signs of moles in your yard, taking action quickly is the key to preventing further damage.
Why Choose Professional Mole Removal?
While DIY methods and store-bought repellents might seem like a quick fix, they often fall short in solving mole problems. Moles can be difficult to trap: with a network of tunnels at various depths, home-traps can waste time and cause frustration. Additionally, improper use of pesticides or poisons can be dangerous for your family and pets. For these reasons alone, acquiring professional services is the safest and easiest solution to remove moles from your yard.
