A lot of time and effort goes into maintaining a healthy lawn and attractive landscaping. Unfortunately, moles work just as hard to destroy it! You may not even notice the damage at first because these lawn pests work underground. They tunnel their way through the soil, looking for worms and other insects to eat and feed their growing population. With the ability to tunnel up to 18 feet per hour, eventually, this behavior becomes devastating to your lawn and landscaping.
Moles are carnivorous mammals that feed on insects and grubs and spend most of their lives underground. Their persistent tunneling can be incredibly destructive to your garden and lawn, ruining your root structure and potentially creating entry points for other pests (like rodents) to get into your garden. High mole populations usually correlate with a correspondingly high presence of soil pests that they feed on.
Moles’ constant burrowing can destroy grass, flower beds, and tree roots. In addition to damaging the overall health of your yard and plants, they can also cause extensive cosmetic damage that can ruin your home’s exterior appeal. Beyond direct damage, moles can also create conditions that can lead to other problems, like weakening the structural integrity of your home’s foundations, creating pockets of pooling water across your yard, and leaving holes across the yard that could cause someone to trip and fall.
Mole exclusion methods – such as installing underground barriers and using mole repellents – prove effective by preventing moles from accessing gardens and lawns, thus safeguarding plants and maintaining the integrity of outdoor spaces. This approach targets the root of the problem by deterring moles before they can cause damage, offering a humane and long-lasting solution to mole infestations.
One of the best ways to prevent moles around your yard is to create a rock or wire mole-exclusion trench around your property’s perimeter. By digging a 2- to 3-foot-deep trench around your yard and filling it in with rocks or steel wire mesh that the moles can’t tunnel through, you can help minimize your risk of them finding their way into your yard. However, keep in mind that even using this method can have its downsides unless undertaken by a professional.
Backed by 75+ years of wildlife and pest control services, Action Pest Control has the expertise and resources necessary to tackle your mole problem, no matter how severe it may be. Our comprehensive mole control services in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky are designed to remove these pests from your property and prevent them from returning.
Our process includes the following:
To begin, your service consultant surveys your property to determine if moles are indeed behind the damage to your lawn. While there, we also define the extent of the problem, map out any mole activity, and explain the best course of treatment.
We utilize the most advanced products and techniques so you can have peace of mind knowing your lawn is free from moles and your family and pets will not be affected. Action Pest Control uses baiting products that mimic earthworms, the preferred food source for moles. Bait is carefully placed underground in only the active mole runs to help protect household members and pets.
Within a few days of the initial treatment, your technician will return to inspect the existing mole tunnels, identify any new locations where moles may be present, and treat them accordingly.
Unfortunately, moles are a constant problem and are even active during mild winters. The likelihood of re-infestation is high for rural properties adjacent to fields and woods. That’s why our mole control is a monthly program designed to provide lasting relief from moles. If you’re tired of moles and other lawn pests making a mess of your yard, contact Action Pest Control for home pest control or commercial pest control services today! Serving Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, we’re ready to help you take back your yard.
While bats do their best to avoid humans, they are known to carry harmful diseases (Histoplasmosis and rabies). Because of this, you should never handle these mammals on your own. With a team of skilled experts who have undergone extensive training, Action Pest Control offers professional bat control services. We identify entry points, implement exclusion methods, and provide preventative solutions to keep bats away. Our professional approach combines a deep understanding of bat behavior with state-of-the-art technology, resulting in a safe solution to your bat problem.
