Tunnels of Soil Through My Yard

If tunnels of soil have been pushed up through your yard, you have moles. Moles create these surface tunnels so that they can hunt underground for worms, grubs, and insects.

Finding mole tunnels is evidence of a healthy ecosystem. They should be left alone whenever possible. Where moles cannot be tolerated, trapping is the most effective way to remove them.
