Moles are small, burrowing mammals that can sometimes be a nuisance in gardens and lawns.
While they're usually harmless, they can mess your garden a bit.
Here are some common signs of moles in your garden.
Molehills
One of the most noticeable signs of moles in your garden is the presence of molehills.
These are conical mounds of soil pushed up to the surface by moles as they dig tunnels underground.
Molehills are typically round and can vary in size.
Surface Tunnels
Moles create shallow surface tunnels just below the ground, which can be seen as raised ridges in your lawn or garden.
These tunnels are often interconnected and can cover a significant area.
Dying Plants
Moles primarily feed on insects and grubs that live in the soil, but they can also accidentally damage plant roots while tunneling.
If you notice plants in your garden suddenly wilting or dying for no apparent reason, moles could be the culprit.
Raised Soil Lines
As moles dig their tunnels, they push soil to the surface, causing raised lines or ridges in your lawn or garden.
No Visible Entry Points
Unlike some other garden pests, moles do not have obvious entry points like burrow openings or chewed vegetation.
They enter your garden from underground, making them difficult to spot directly.
