Destructive Underground Dwellers: The Impact of Moles on Your Lawn
Moles may look like rats and mice, but they aren’t rodents. They belong to a different family called Talpidae, along with shrew-moles and desmans. Moles, like the other Talpids, are insectivores – they feed on insects. Moles are also subterranean, meaning they thrive underground. Moles have adapted to their subterranean environment, their legs and paws are meant for digging, and they can breathe even when oxygen levels are very low.
Because they are subterranean, moles are considered pests because they burrow through lawns and creating mounds of soil called mole hills. The burrowing eventually kills your lawn. Moles create tunnels underground, passing through some of your plants’ roots, which adds to the factor of plant death in mole infested lots. Moles can also contribute to the destruction of your water and drainage system. Lots that are infested with moles are also prone to weed growth.
Chilton’s Pest Control will be able to handle these problems for you. You can rest assured that you will be well taken care of. Our methods include the use of mole traps and repellents, so that no future mole problems will re-occur.
