Why Use Mole Traps To Get Rid Of Moles In Gardens

By Tracie Knight


Infestation by moles in homes is something that can be daunting. These critters cause damages to yards and gardens by burrowing and digging up soils. When you discover that your gardens have been invaded by moles, one method you can use to get rid of them is trapping the critters using mole traps. The trapping devices are designed to capture the animal and prevent them from moving.

You will be presented with different options for removing or eliminating moles from your premises but you have to weigh each method critically. One of the options is use of poison to kill moles. While this can be a solution, it presents potential dangers. Pets or even children can eat poisons you place on the gardens. This can cause serious harm to your family and animal friend.

Moles trapping devices are better when compared to use of chemicals. However, they have to be handled properly because the springing can cause injuries. When the spring is activated and it comes in contact with body part like the hands or feet, the trapping device can cause injuries. You have to set the trap very carefully.

If you do not take actions immediately, your precious gardens may be damaged completely. Although you can apply different moles removal techniques, there are those, which are environmentally friendly and safe. Use of chemical substances is one way you can get rid of the pesky animals but this method poses some dangers.

Studying the behaviour and movement of moles in gardens can provide you with exact locations, which they have invaded. Since they tend to dig tunnels all over the gardens, at times, you may not know where exactly they are located. This will require you to spend sometime watching their movements.

If you are not very sure of the hiding areas of the moles, you may want to watch them. Since they could have dug many tunnels, you need to watch their behaviour, and the holes in which they are coming out from. As they search for food, they will continue digging up soils and creating new tunnels while leaving heaps and piles of soils on the ground.

When setting the trapping device, you place it atop the holes or channels, which moles use to enter or leave the ground. When moles invade your gardens, they will dig the soils as they search for food. These creatures feed on worms and insects found in soils. They also dig the tunnels to find areas where they can hide. With the extensive damage they cause on soils, it may prevent your plants from growing.

You can leave the camera set on the ground over night and the images captured will show you were the critters are currently inhabiting. The images will also help you determine whether you are indeed dealing with moles or some other types of creatures. You can locate the holes, which the moles are using to leave or enter the ground and set the trap there.
