Moles are small mammals of the mole family. They are classified as insectivorous. The main component of their diet is various insects: earthworms, larvae, May beetles, wireworms and other pests. They are found in abundance in your beds, and this is what attracts moles.
Moles rid your garden of these small insects, but also harm the crop. They roll out potato tubers to the surface or, on the contrary, prepare products for the winter deep in the ground, and while digging the passages, they damage the root system, which leads to the death of the plant. Molehills dug up by them spoil the beautiful view of your beds or lawns.
As soon as you notice that your favorite plants in the garden began to dry out, and dug mounds of earth began to appear on the plot, you should immediately move on to serious action. Fighting moles in the country, garden or garden is a rather painstaking and difficult task.
Before you start to destroy or expel these animals from the site, you should find out what moles are. Fight themit will be easier and more efficient if you have this information.
You should know that moles are family animals, so they do not appear on the site alone. They come in groups of 5-7 individuals, work as a close-knit "team". Therefore, having caught one mole, do not relax. Be aware that a few blind earthworkers are "out for revenge".
Moles do not hibernate, so it is important that mole repellers work both in winter and summer.
When setting traps or baits, note that most hunting passages are located at a depth of 10-15 cm under your beds, as loose, moist soil is a cozy haven for earthworms, which are so fond of moles. The fight against them is a little easier if you spread the poisoned bait on the beds in molehills.
It's pointless to fill up mole moves. They are very able-bodied and will spend no more than an hour to restore the littered tunnels.
The fight against moles on the site should take place in compliance with all safety standards. You can not catch moles with your bare hands, as they can bite quite painfully with their sharp teeth. And in general, trying to catch a mole with your hands is just as pointless as filling up its holes. The mole is a strong and quirky animal, it is almost impossible to hold it in your hands. Catching up with the mole is also not possible. He runs as fast as a dog or a cat. With poor eyesight, they have excellent hearing and sense of smell, so do not underestimate these animals.
ForIn order to prevent moles from causing trouble during the summer season, the fight against them should begin even before they appear on your site. To prevent the mole family from moving to your beds, you should protect your site with a net, slate or iron, burying them 50 centimeters into the ground along the perimeter. This is quite laborious, but the most effective way.
Moles bring a lot of trouble to our areas. Fighting them is a complex process that takes a lot of time.
