Moles and the Threat to Your Yard

It's the time of the year when we're all working hard on the ideal garden. One that's bright and colorful, with lush grasses and vegetation. All this time you've spent your hard earned money at local stores, purchasing seed and flowers, and everything seems to be going according to plan, until you wake up one day and your green grass is now turning brown. Further, you see uprooted vegetation and holes littering your yard. Immediately, it's clear you have a mole problem on your hand. 

Unlike other local nuisance wildlife problems, mole activity persists throughout summertime in the Greater Memphis Area. In fact, it remains one of the only active problems, due to the open habitat in which they live. Squirrels, rats, and raccoons, for example, tend to ditch scorching attics in the summer time. Moles, however, don't mind the cool dirt, and thus enjoy the summer weather that is afforded to them. 

Apex Wildlife Control will solve your problem

Moles tend to be found in organically rich soil, which supports their earthworm and grub diet. While tunneling in search of these food sources, they incidentally expose root systems, thus leading them to die as they hang underground, with no foundation to hold to. It's during this period of extensive tunneling, that you may find your vegetation and yard regressing from green to brown. Alas, however, Apex Wildlife Control is here to put it back into great condition. 

Removing and trapping for moles isn't very hard, and can be generally solved with underground mole traps, which are similar to mouse traps. The tough part, however, is the open environment that they inhabit. You may find that you killed all the active moles in your hard, only to come back a few days later and notice more. This is because moles from a neighboring yard moved in. Cats offer longtime mole relief, but persistent trapping is usually the best measure. 

Apex Wildlife Control provided a quality 3-step process to fix this solution. It all starts with a free consultation where our technicians inspect and assess the property and damage. We follow this up with a debriefing, and finally 3 weeks of trapping to finish. If you, or anyone you know, is suffering lawn & garden damage as a result of moles, don't hesitate to call Apex Wildlife Control at 901-598-8555.
