Why Moles Choose Your Garden
Moles are attracted to gardens primarily because they offer abundant sources of food. Moles feast on insects, grubs, and earthworms, all of which thrive in healthy, well-maintained soil. Here’s a closer look at the factors that make your garden an ideal hunting ground for these critters:
Rich Soil: Gardens with rich, moist soil are attractive to the insects and invertebrates that moles eat. If your soil is well-kept and fertile, it’s likely home to a good population of earthworms and other foods that moles seek.
Cover and Protection: Thicker vegetation, compost heaps, and scattered mulch provide excellent cover, making your garden a safe place for moles to dig and breed.
Quiet and Undisturbed Areas: Moles prefer areas where there is little disturbance. Quiet parts of your garden can become mole hotspots.
Signs of a Mole Infestation
Recognising the signs of a mole presence early can help prevent extensive damage. Common mole infestation indications include:
Molehills: Small piles of earth at the entrance of their tunnels.
Raised ridges: As moles tunnel, they can create raised ridges across your lawn by pushing up the earth.
Damaged plants: Roots may be lifted due to moles under the soil, which damage and wilt plants.
If you see any of these signs in your garden, reach out to RS Pest Control for help. Leaving this can cause further damage to your home and destroy any crops or plants. Contact our friendly team today.
Preventing and Managing Moles
Preventing and managing moles need not be a daunting task. To keep your garden mole-free, start by regulating moisture. Overwatering can attract earthworms and insects, which in turn draw moles, so maintaining balanced moisture levels helps reduce this risk. You can also use natural deterrents by planting mole-repelling plants like daffodils and marigolds around your garden’s perimeter. However, if the infestation becomes severe or home remedies prove ineffective, professional mole control may be necessary. At RS Pest Control, we offer expert mole management solutions tailored to your specific needs. Get a free mole removal quote today.
