Mole Control in Troy

Mole control is an important part of maintaining a beautiful lawn in Troy, Michigan where moles can quickly damage your lawn by tunneling underground in search of food. This activity can cause lines of brown grass where the moles tunnel, unsightly mounds of dirt throughout the lawn and uneven surfaces.

These creatures primarily feed on subterranean inhabitants like grubs, worms, and beetles, which are abundant in Troy lawns. While moles play a role in the ecosystem, they can wreak havoc in your lawn and shrub beds if not managed properly.

The first step in controlling moles is addressing their food source. By applying grub control treatments to your lawn, you can reduce the number of grubs moles feed on, making your property less attractive to them. However, earthworms make up the bulk of a moles’ diet, so this is not the total solution to a mole problem.

If moles have already invaded your lawn, trapping is an effective method to reduce the mole population. Using a mole trap placed in their active tunnels can help in getting rid of moles. The key with traps is to set them correctly. If the trap is not set correctly the mole will just tunnel around the trap.

Another option is using poison baits. I have found this to be an effective means to control moles because the bait mimics their favorite food – earthworms. Mole baits also cause less disruption to a moles’ tunnel, so they are less likely to bypass it.

By taking consistent, proactive steps, you can keep your lawn mole-free and looking its best. If you need a price for our mole control baiting program call us at 800-724-6680.
