Mole trapping
The Hairy-tailed Mole
Found all throughout the eastern United States, these solitary creatures are more than likely responsible for the bald spots in your yard.
Elusive creatures. When it comes to getting moles out of your yard you have two options, trapping them or poisoning the grubs the feed on. I personally am not a fan of poisons being spread anywhere near my family so I trap. When I first started out I used all sorts of above ground traps, digging up there feeding mounds, and just was dumbfounded trying to catch these suckers.
White Grub
These little guys are a favorite of Moles. Contrary to popular belief, moles do not eat vegetables or grass. Moles survive off of insects such as earth worms, beetles, and the white grub (pictured above).
Feeding Site
This is a one time use area where the mole eats the grubs close to the surface under your grass. You may notice more activity and tunnels form after rain, the water brings insects closer to the surface.
After a bit of research and consulting with other PAC agents, I started using underground traps called No-mole. The underground sets work much better than any above ground trap, the key is placement. You have to find a connector tunnel between feed areas that is commonly travelled by the mole. It takes a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it you catch them in a couple days every time instead of digging up your whole yard and as the saying goes, "make a mountain out of a mole hill".
