Moles are small but destructive pests that tunnel just beneath the surface of Virginia lawns and gardens. Their tunneling leaves raised ridges and soft spots that damage grass and landscaping. While they feed on insects, not plants, the tunneling uproots roots and makes lawns uneven. Moles can quickly cover large areas, leaving behind multiple surface mounds. Their digging attracts other predators like snakes and skunks. Home remedies rarely work, as moles are persistent and active year-round. Left unchecked, mole damage can ruin expensive landscaping and turf. Professional control methods are the most reliable way to eliminate mole activity and restore lawns.
