Moles in your lawn cannot be controlled, right?
I have good news for you. They can! Let us start out with
a strategy. Education and training are key to any endeavor.
By having the correct education and training, you will be
able to control even the toughest problems.
What kind of learner are you? Can you read a book and
then do something or do you need to watch a video?
I personally am a video person and learn through the
use of visual tools. By determining which way you learn,
this will help you decide what tool is best for you.
Video's
and
books are readily available on the subject.
Tools? There are several styles of
mole traps on the
market. For the beginner, I would recommend the spear
or the scissor types. These are easier to set and you
will have more success with them. The scissor trap has
been around a very long time and has had little change
made to it over the years. Why? It works!
Be sure to rake out the mounds of dirt if there are any as
they will kill the grass and leave dead spots in the lawn.
After the moles are gone, keep on the lookout for new
invaders. When new moles arrive, catch them as quickly
as you can before their population gets out of control!
With a little work on your part and some patience,
the moles will be controlled and your management
program taking shape.
You work hard on your lawn and are proud of your home.
Do not let these pesky moles ruin it!
