Santa Clarita mole pest control animal tip: How to get rid of moles in yard without killing them

Moles are highly destructive creatures that live underground. Many landowners view moles as the nemesis to their lawns and gardens.

The most visible part of mole damage is the huge mounds of soil they drag off from the ground from their digging. Moles incessant digging weakens the structure of the soil and can damage plants by the roots.

However, moles remain an important part of the ecosystem. They also help to rid plants of destructive worms and insects.

Getting rid of moles

Most people avoid using chemicals due to the side effects on the soil and the plants. Also, others are not interested in hurting the moles, only scaring them away. Whichever category you fall into, here are some ways to rid your property of moles without killing them;

Use live traps

Traps like "humane traps" capture the mole alive. Then, you can get rid of the mole yourself. Many other traps serve as deterrents to moles, and they avoid such places.

Use natural plant repellents

Some plants like daffodils, marigolds, and others are repulsive to moles. Since moles have a developed sense of smell, they will avoid such areas by a wide distance.

Flood mole holes

Flushing mole holes with water at high pressure is a good way to scare moles away from the area. However, the soil type determines how effective this method is. It works better on loamy and clayey soils.

Use castor oil spray

You can make a natural repellant by mixing 3 parts castor oil in 6 parts warm water and stirring vigorously. Castor oil is a natural irritant to moles and also messes with their digestive tracts. Moles also find the smell of castor oil highly repugnant.

Scare them with predator litter

Moles are scared of cats, owls, and other predators. Sprinkle cat litter in their molehills, and watch them abandon such holes forever. Moles have a keen sense of smell and hate face-offs.

Make use of vibrating stakes

If you own a large expanse of land, you should go for the sonic or vibrating repellants. These humane repellants also work on any other pests terrorizing your lands.

The vibrations from this device scare moles and other pests. Since the device can be solar or battery-operated, it can last as long as you need it to.

Other methods

• Using dawn soap or detergents
• Scarecrows
• Plastic traps
• Coffee beans, garlic, and chili pepper as natural repellants

These humane methods not only preserve the ecology but are also safer to use on the soil. Also, ensure to make regular inspections and checks on your lawns.
