Signs of a mole infestation may include seeing molehills or ridges in your lawn or garden, noticing damage to plant roots, and hearing scratching or digging sounds.

Moles can enter your property through small cracks or gaps in fences or walls, as well as underground tunnels.
Effective mole treatments may include using traps or baits, as well as removing any food sources such as grubs or insects. It’s best to consult with a pest control professional for the most effective treatment plan.
Moles are small, burrowing mammals known for their distinctive, powerful front claws that help them dig through soil. They live mostly underground, creating complex tunnel systems as they search for insects and earthworms, their primary food sources. Moles prefer moist, loose soil found in gardens, lawns, and wooded areas, where their tunneling can create visible surface ridges. Though they rarely come above ground, their digging can disrupt plant roots and damage landscaping. To manage mole activity, keeping soil dry, removing food sources like grubs, and installing barriers can help minimize their presence.

Eastern moles are found throughout the eastern United States and are most active in moist, loose soils where digging is easier. They create extensive tunnel networks close to the surface, typically 5 – 8 inches deep, which they use for hunting insects and worms. Their tunnels are often seen as raised ridges on the ground surface. Eastern moles are solitary creatures and rarely interact with other moles outside of breeding season. Their feeding tunnels allow them to cover large areas in search of food, contributing to their significant impact on soil aeration and pest control in their habitat.

Star-nosed moles are found in the northeastern United States and parts of eastern Canada, particularly in wet, marshy environments. They are excellent swimmers and often establish their tunnels in moist soil near water sources, such as streams, swamps, and wetlands. The “star” on their nose, made up of 22 fleshy tentacles, contains thousands of sensory receptors, making it one of the most sensitive touch organs in the animal kingdom. This unique adaptation helps them locate small invertebrates, insects, and worms with remarkable speed, even underwater. Star-nosed moles are solitary and territorial, using both underground tunnels and water channels for travel and hunting.
