There are a huge number of parasites in our garden, but of course moles are the most annoying. Before you learn how to get rid of them, study how they live and look like.

What irritating parasite settled in your garden

A small mammal like a mole can ruin your garden and cause damage. 

On the one hand, they loosen the soil and destroy harmful insects.

On the other they spoil your harvest.

How do you recognize this animal

These are small, gray or black mammals with long claws and small eyes.

They used to live alone, but in tunnels.

It's easy to see the mole's house. These are pits in the form of a volcano with an entrance and exit.

Do not confuse their houses with the houses of gophers. Moles have them going up, and gophers have them flattened.

So how do you get rid of moles

Of course, you can use poisons, harmful means, but this is not an absolute result and not safe.

What you need is of course a trap for the mole. It can be purchased in specialized stores and used more precisely following the instructions. 

You can make a barrier reef or fence so that the mole does not spoil your harvest.

But the cat can dig in another place, then only the trap remains.

Since moles like moist soil, it is better to install it in that place.

Using traps you will protect yourself from this annoying mammal. And you will forget about them.
