MOLES IN BLOOMFIELD HILLS





Moles, Moles, Moles! How do we get rid of Moles? This is the question many Bloomfield Hills residents are asking themselves.

Mole tunneling in Bloomfield Hills, MI is destroying some beautifully manicured lawns. Many Bloomfield Hills residents are trying to get their lawns back. Some have turned to home remedies, internet, family and friends.

Moles live off earthworms and insects, making it almost impossible to eliminate them in your yard.  Most lawn chemicals do not work on earthworms and they are the moles main source of food. We wouldn’t want to eliminate earthworms from our soil anyway – they provide too many benefits to our lawns, trees, and shrubs.

Moles are very active animals and damage from moles happens all year. You might not know it, but moles don’t even hibernate in the winter. Moles dig different kinds of tunnels in our lawns, some deep and some shallow. Usually the deep tunnels are for living and raising their babies while the shallow tunnel is for feeding. Usually, moles do not share their tunnels; their babies leave after a few months to make their own tunnels.

We know how frustrating mole damage can be. It use to be that trapping was the only way to get rid of moles, but most Bloomfield Hills homeowners don’t have the time or ability to properly trap moles. Now there’s a better way to get rid of moles in your lawn – a mole bait that moles will eat because they think it’s an earthworm! This mole bait will reduce, if not totally eliminate, moles in your lawn.

Owen Tree Service will evaluate the mole tunnels in your lawn and concentrate on the active mole tunnels. Our mole control program has proven to be quite effective. We offer a season-long mole control program in case new moles come into your lawn from a neighboring property.
