If I get rid of moles in my yard, what happens to moles in my neighbors’ yard?
Moles are a lonely and very territorial animal. If your neighbor moved out of your house, you wouldn’t automatically move out, would you? Of course not, because you have your own established territory, but at a later time, you might decide to expand your territory and buy your home and property. Moles operate in the same way, they are always expanding their territory.
Will I be able to be successful in getting rid of moles for good?
There are 2 ways that I know of to get rid of moles for good, but both are not good. One is to pave your entire yard and turn it into a parking lot and the other is to kill all the living organisms in your yard that eat the moles and the mole won’t find your yard attractive, but you won’t have much of a yard either. Getting rid of moles is an effort in control.
Are moles coming back?
Yes and no, some yards may experience reappearance of new moles as explained in the answer to the first question above. Other yards may have moles now, and once one has removed the troublesome moles, there may not be more moles nearby that can spread to your yard. But there is no product available to keep moles away forever, anyone who tells you otherwise just wants your money.
Why is everyone telling me to get rid of the larvae and I will get rid of my moles?
Worm control for mole control is the biggest myth out there. Of all the shipyards that we have and currently serve, about 80 percent of them never have larvae, as they have either killed the larvae or did not have them to begin with. Moles are in the backyard of earthworms, all factual studies on moles always present earthworms as the main diet of the mole. Eighty-five percent of their diet is earthworms. They are strictly an insectivore. If you think about it, companies can sell larval control but they cannot sell earthworm control. No one would buy earthworm control as they are necessary for deep, natural aeration in your garden.
I must have more than 100 moles in my garden, right?
No, the typical acre averages 3 to 5 moles. Moles are solitary by nature and extremely territorial. A mole can average 100 feet of new tunnel excavation in 1 day, 18 feet per hour when digging shallow or deep tunnels, and can travel 80 feet per minute in an already created tunnel.
Why do I have lots of dirt in my garden?
As the moles dig new, deeper horizontal tunnels, they need a place to put the dirt they are digging. They bring this dirt to the surface. As they dig further and further, they form new mounds of dirt as the race lengthens. The larger the mound, the deeper the mole tunnel is below the soil surface.
Why don’t all poisons, home remedies, worm control, molecular toxins, sound generators, vibration generators, and other mole control devices work?
Our answer to this question is simple: If all of this really worked, we wouldn’t be in business. Have you ever heard the expression, cheaper is better? It really isn’t, the quality and factual knowledge is better than cheap any day. Those things are there to hook the owner, not to solve his problem. Moles do not eat any type of grain or plant matter, they are strictly carnivorous. When it comes to sound, sonic and vibratory devices designed to scare away moles, we have detected moles on a weekly basis quite close to these types of devices.
I have never had moles until now, why are they in my garden?
As previously stated, moles are solitary and territorial. When the female has babies and raises them until they are old enough to be alone and kicks them out, these “adolescent” moles now have to explore new areas and establish their own territories. As this process repeats, they will soon reach your yard, especially if you are in the middle of a new home development.
