Mole Removal: Understand the Battle, Part 3

Mole Removal: Understand the Battle, Part 3

As Northwest Mole Pros discussed in our two previous blogs, (here and here) Seattle-area homeowners spend their spring and summer rejuvenating and maintaining the beauty of their lawns. At the same time, they must contend with destructive moles who capitalize on the results of their labors – a lush lawn brimming with earthworms and other tasty mole food.

Your Calendar Calls to Action

As we have said, you can’t stop nourishing, maintaining, and beautifying your yard during this time. But spring and summer pass. When they do, and the crisp fall air returns, how should the tactics change in your ongoing battle with Mr. Mole? Let’s find out!

Mole Removal, October through January 

The days are getting shorter and the rains have returned.  Daylight savings time is gone and your visits to the yard are fewer and fewer.  What about the moles? Do they hibernate? THEY DO NOT. Moles are 24/7/365 workhorses! 

There IS a bit less pressure on your yard during this time.  You have stopped watering and surrounding non-watered areas are being rehydrated by the rains.  As a result, earthworms and grubs move back into these areas outside your yard.  With a more spread-out food source, moles don’t have to focus solely on your lawn or flower beds.  Does that mean they leave?  No.  It just means more of their tunnel system has food and they need to travel it less often,  leaving the false impression that they are gone. 

The countermeasure for this period is back to square one – diligently walk your yard at least once a week looking for mounds or veining.  If you see some activity, call NW Mole Pros, as we maintain a team of removal experts who can effectively and efficiently remove moles.
