Damage Prevention and Control Methods

Exclusion

  • Generally not practical, except in very small, high-value areas where an aboveground and underground barrier (sheet metal, brick, wood) might restrict moles.
     

Cultural Methods

  • Packing the soil destroys burrows, and sometimes moles if done in early morning or late evening.
  • Reduction in soil moisture and food source removal by the use of insecticides discourages moles and generally results in lower populations.

Frightening

  • Ineffective
