Mole Control Myths BUSTED
Myth 1: Grub Control
"Kill the grubs and the moles will leave." FALSE. Moles primarily eat earthworms. Even if you kill every grub in your lawn, moles will stay for the worms.
Myth 2: Sonic Spikes
"Vibrating stakes scare them away." FALSE. Moles quickly get used to the vibration and will often dig right next to the spikes.
Myth 3: Chewing Gum
"Put gum in the hole to block them." FALSE. This is an old wives' tale with zero scientific backing. It does not work.
The Only Proven Method: Trapping
Because moles live entirely underground, repellents and poisons are rarely effective. Physical trapping is the gold standard for mole control.
How Professional Trapping Works
- 1. Locate Active Runs: Not all tunnels are used daily. We identify the "highways" moles use to travel.
- 2. Proper Trap Selection: We use scissor traps or harvester traps designed specifically for the soil type in Louisville.
- 3. Careful Placement: Traps must be set underground without disturbing the tunnel too much, or the mole will sense danger and dig around it.
- 4. Monitoring: We check traps regularly to remove caught moles and reset as needed until activity stops.
