Mole Control

Mole Control

A mole is a type of mammal often confused for a rodent due to its resemblance to a rat or a mouse. There are various types of moles. They include the Coast mole, the European Mole, the star-nosed mole, the broad-footed mole, the shrew mole among others.

Controlling moles is quite an uphill task particularly if wrong methods and products are used. The exercise can get even harder if you are not knowledgeable about the whole control process and that is why you need to hire experts to help you.

Size and life cycle of moles

According to various experts, moles are well known for not tolerating one another same for when they are mating. They carry their pregnancies for about 4 to 6 weeks.

A mature mole is usually around seven inches long from head to tail. In most cases, they are grey or brown in colour. Their small ears and eyes are mostly concealed by fur.

Behaviour, Diets and Habits

Moles can be found burrowing under the soil for most of their lifetime. They feed on earthworms and grubs. They also damage and feed on plants. It is hard to control mole populations when they have come across a good feeding area. They mostly prefer various habitats such as woodlands, grasslands, farmlands, suburban and urban areas.

These small animals are known for their notorious behaviour of making tunnel systems in yards and gardens while searching for food, secure locations and places for breeding. They mostly prefer moist, loose soil. They can be hard to control because in most cases they remain underground.

How to detect the presence of moles on your garden or homestead

The damage they cause will make you want to get rid of them almost immediately. They are not seasonal and you will notice their infestation any time of the year. They create tunnels which can be both shallow and sometimes very deep. The shallow tunnels are mostly for feeding, and they create them at a rate of 6 meters in an hour.

There are many ways to trap or control moles. The most effective methods, however, are baiting and trapping.
