Why Is Mole Control Important?

Moles have long been a source of frustration for gardeners and property owners. With their exceptional burrowing abilities and voracious appetites for insects, grubs and earthworms, moles can wreak havoc on lawns, gardens and even a property’s structural integrity. This blog post highlights the importance of mole control and why taking action is crucial for protecting your garden and property.

Garden & Landscape Damage

One of the primary reasons why mole control is essential is the significant damage moles can inflict on gardens and landscapes. These underground dwellers create an intricate network of tunnels as they search for food, leaving behind raised ridges or molehills that can ruin the aesthetics of a well maintained garden. 

Protecting Plant Health

Moles may not feed on plants directly, but their burrowing can harm the root systems of vegetation. When moles tunnel through garden beds or lawns, they can disturb the delicate balance of soil composition, causing root damage and reducing the overall health and productivity of plants.

Preserving Lawn Aesthetics

A lush, well maintained lawn adds value to any property. Unfortunately, moles can turn even the most pristine lawns into an unsightly mess. Their tunneling activities create an uneven surface and disrupt the integrity of the grass, resulting in dead patches, mounds and raised ridges. With our mole control services, you can protect your lawn’s appearance and prevent it from becoming an eyesore.

Structural Integrity

Beyond the surface level damage, moles’ underground tunneling can compromise the structural integrity of buildings, pavements and other structures. The tunnels created by moles can undermine the stability of foundations, leading to cracks or even collapse. In areas with high mole populations, it is crucial to address mole infestations promptly to prevent potential structural damage and the costly repairs that may follow.
