Moles 

Moles prefer soft soil close to rivers, streams and other waterways and spend most of their time underground in tunnels.

Living and feeding primarily underground in their complex system of burrows and tunnels, moles only come to the surface occasionally to gather nesting materials.

Moles feed almost exclusively on soil insects- earthworms and grubs are the most important food sources.

 

 

Control Options
  

Usually there is no need to control moles; however, when they become a nuisance, control measures are available.

Havahart® recommends the following mole control options:

 

Mole Repellents
Mole repellents that contain castor oil or castor beans are the most effective repellent for moles. It is thought to give moles an upset stomach, which obligates moles to move away from the "upsetting" food source.

Havahart® Mole Repellent contains castor oil as its active ingredient.

Mole Traps

Two types of traps are available for moles: harpoon and choker loop traps.

When properly placed in the yard, these mole traps provide the simplest most effective means of control.

For trapping to succeed, it is vital to select a frequently used tunnel. To locate active tunnels, cave in short sections of several runways by pushing down on them with your foot. be sure to indicate each site with a stick or marker.

 

Moles are very suspicious and will avoid areas that appear odd, so don't disturb the tunnels more than necessary. Check each marked site and place traps in tunnels which have been rebuilt. If there is no catch within a day or two, change locations and reset the trap.

Sound Barriers

Sound repellents - including "mole wheels," vibrating windmills, children's pinwheels or similar devices- can be pushed into the tunnels to carry vibrations to disturb the moles.
Make sure the effectiveness of the product is valid before purchasing.

Fencing

Fencing small, isolated areas such as flower beds can be very effective. Bury fencing at least 12 inches and bend the above-ground portion outward at a 90 degree angle for an additional 10 inches.
