Most people don’t think of moles until they notice dirt mounds or ridges running across the lawn. While these little diggers don’t usually enter homes, their constant tunneling can cause a surprising amount of damage outdoors. At All City Animal Trapping, I’ve seen firsthand how quickly a mole problem can turn into a landscaping nightmare.
Moles are tireless burrowers, and their tunnels show up fast.
Uneven ground: Raised ridges and dirt piles make lawns lumpy, hard to mow, and unsafe to walk across.
Plant damage: As moles tunnel, they disturb and sometimes uproot flowers, vegetables, and young shrubs, leaving roots exposed and plants struggling to survive.
Because they push soil upward as they dig, large areas of your yard can be covered in molehills. That displaced soil is often less fertile and can suffocate grass and plants underneath.
Tunnels near patios, walkways, or driveways can cause shifting and cracking over time. Retaining walls may also weaken if the soil beneath them is disturbed.
Plastic irrigation lines and sprinkler systems are no match for a determined mole. They often break pipes or block water flow with their tunnels, which means higher repair costs and wasted water.
Moles themselves aren’t usually dangerous to people, but their presence attracts predators like snakes, skunks, or owls that may cause new problems around your yard.
If tunneling occurs close to a foundation, it can displace soil in a way that affects the stability of smaller structures, fences, or garden sheds.
Understanding the potential damage moles can cause underscores the importance of timely and professional intervention. At All City Animal Trapping, we specialize in humane and effective mole removal, ensuring your home and property remain safe and secure.
