Moles

Moles rarely eat plants directly, but their tunneling disturbs roots and leaves unsightly ridges across a lawn — a cosmetic problem more than a destructive one.

Moles

What They're Actually After

Moles tunnel in search of grubs, earthworms, and other soil insects, not plant roots themselves. A lawn with a heavy grub population is far more likely to attract moles, so treating the grubs often reduces mole activity as a side effect.

Making Tunnels Less Appealing

Our Mole Repellent and Castor Bean Mole Repellent both work by making tunnels smell and taste unpleasant, encouraging moles to relocate without any trapping involved.

QUICK TIP

Tamp down active tunnels after treating — a mole returning to find its tunnel collapsed is more likely to move on for good.
