The following content is factual information and honest advice on mole behavior, ecology and mole control.
The cheapest and easiest way to deal with mole damage is to pick up the piles of dirt and not step on them. Spread the dirt around. You’ll find there is good grass under the dirt and there won’t be a large bare spot. Mole tunnels should be walked down to keep the grass from browning out. This won’t necessarily get rid of moles but the lawn will look better and the exercise should be beneficial.
If you decide to trap, be prepared to stay with the job. Mole traps have never been “user friendly”. If you decide to hire a trapper, don’t think all mole trappers are the same. If a trapper gives a firm price without inspection, get someone else! You can also ask for a referral from your lawn company.
