How to Remove Moles

We have found a few moles this winter. Here are some great tips for removing them before they destroy your yard.

Wondering how to get rid of moles in your yard? The only sure way to get ride of a mole is to use a mole-specific trap that will kill the animal. Mole repellant, poisons, fumigants, and home remedies are less effective.

Above- and below ground traps are available for getting rid of moles. Follow the package directions for correct placement, and move the tunnel traps daily if you do not get rid of the mole. Try inverting a bucket over the trap to conceal the trap and prevent tampering.

Spring and fall, when the ground is moist but not frozen, are the best times of year for getting rid of moles because the animal pests are most active then.

In all but the worst cases, learning how to get rid of moles means removing just one or two moles. This usually solves the problem because moles don't live in communities.
