Using A Mole Trap To Get Rid Of Mole Damage In Your Yard

By Helene Norris


Moles can cause some real damage to a person's yard. The best thing a person can do is to get rid of the problem as soon as they take notice of it. When this creature is done with their mess, a person will have an ugly yard and, the property value will go down. Many people have come out with urban legends of getting rid of moles, but these ideas never work. It is best to hire a professional who will set a mole trap to get rid of the problem.

A mole's life mainly is lived underground in the tunnels that they make. In these tunnels, they enjoy all of the insects that they eat. When a tunnel stops providing the food that they need, they will move on and make another tunnel nearby.

This creature will always look for the most healthy dirt in their area. If a person has a yard that they have worked really hard on at keeping moist, a mole will love their yard. There will be plenty of insects in it that the creature will need to survive. A healthy yard will have plenty of worms and other insects for them to eat.

This may not seem like a big problem, but while doing this, they will destroy the yard. They are just trying to live and eat, but their actions will turn the grass brown and weak spots will be created in the yard. Another thing to keep in mind is that all of the tunnels will welcome other unwanted animals such as snakes.

If you see molehills in your yard, you definitely have at least one of these guys living there. You may have even noticed shrubs and landscaping plants ruined. That once beautiful yard seems like it is getting destroyed more and more as the weeks go by. This will happen despite all of the hard work that you have put into making your yard look nice.

It is very rare that these creatures will enter a person's home. There is just no reason for it unless your house was filled with insects, which surely it is not. The only possible way for them to enter a home would be if a tunnel went bad on them that led inside a person's house. As soon as they figure it out, they will want to get out of there as soon as they could.

Poison traps will do no good with these guys as they smell really good. Repellents will also not do anything to get rid of them. Only by using a mole trap can someone find success in getting rid of their problem. Making sure that hands are not all over the mole trap are important. The good smelling ability of these guys will keep them away from it if it smells anything like human.

A mole trap will have to be placed into a tunnel. It must be an active tunnel, and the way it is placed in there needs to be per the instructions that are given with the trap. The pointy parts of the trap will need to be placed in a position that will penetrate the animal in order to be affective.
