The mole is a carnivore. Willingly eats spiders, larvae and earthworms. And although it does not eat plants, it can do damage to the garden. It creates underground tunnels up to several hundred meters long. In Poland, we can meet the European mole, whose weight reaches 120 grams and body length up to 20 centimeters. Moles can give gardeners sleepless nights, which is why we present ways to get rid of them from the plot.
How to get rid of a mole from the garden? Learn home remedies
Getting rid of a mole can be troublesome, but not impossible. Here are some tips to help you get the mole out of the plot.
- Rake leaves and plant debris. Moles like damp, and leaves lying and rotting on the ground retain moisture.
- Underground nets can be an effective weapon against moles. They will prevent digging to the surface and creating mounds.
- Trim trees and shrubs. When branches cover the ground, they create a shadow, which makes the lawn dry more slowly.
- Roll the lawn. Soil compaction dries it out and reduces moisture.
