Moles: identification, signs & control
How do you get moles out of your lawn?
To get moles out of your lawn, you have to make the lawn a poor place to hunt or remove the moles directly. Rehoboth uses a quick, intensive mole barrier treatment that drives moles out of treated areas. Moles tunnel for grubs and earthworms, so you'll usually see raised ridges and volcano-shaped mounds before you ever see a mole.
How do you identify moles?
- Gray, velvety fur, tiny eyes, no visible ears
- Huge, paddle-like front claws for digging
- Pointed snout
What are the signs of moles?
- Raised ridges across the lawn that feel spongy underfoot
- Volcano-shaped mounds of soil
- Fresh tunnels after rain
Are moles dangerous?
- Lawn damage and uneven ground
- Disturbed plant roots along tunnels
- Tunnels later used by voles
How can you prevent moles?
- Avoid overwatering, which draws earthworms (and moles) to the surface
- Address heavy grub infestations

More questions
Do moles eat plant roots?
No. Moles eat insects, grubs and earthworms. Plant damage comes from tunneling or from voles using the tunnels.
