How Mole Damage Affects Your Lawn's Health
Moles might be small, but their underground antics can wreak havoc on your lawn and garden. Here’s what they can do to your backyard and some signs to keep an eye out for:
Molehills and Surface Tunnels: Moles create unsightly mounds of soil and raised ridges that make the lawn uneven.
Root Damage: Moles primarily feed on earthworms, insects, grubs, and other small invertebrates in the soil. While searching for food, they dig shallow tunnels near the surface, causing damage to plant roots and weakening grass, flowers, and shrubs.
Loosening Soil While beneficial in moderation, excessive tunneling loosens the soil, increasing erosion risk and destabilizing the lawn’s structure.
Creating Hazardous Areas: Surface-level mole tunnels weaken the ground, creating unsafe walking areas and risking ground collapse.
Attracting Other Pests: Mole activity disturbs soil and roots, inviting other pests like voles, mice, or insects to your backyard.
Foraging and Tunneling Behaviors of Moles
Moles are skilled diggers and thrive underground in moist soil where they can craft their intricate tunnel networks. Solitary by nature, they fiercely guard their territories, spanning hundreds to thousands of square feet. Primarily nocturnal, moles are active day or night, especially in cooler conditions.
Their diet primarily consists of earthworms and insects, requiring a substantial daily intake relative to their size due to their high metabolic rate. Because of this, their tunnels serve multiple purposes: shallow ones for feeding and deeper ones for nesting and protection.
Despite poor eyesight, moles rely on heightened touch and smell, using sensitive snouts and whiskers to detect prey and navigate dark tunnels. They adapt their behavior seasonally, digging deeper during extreme conditions and surfacing in rainy periods.
