INTRODUCTION:
Moles can be found throughout Alpharetta, Marietta, and Cumming. Moles can be found all over North America. Unless you have studied Moles or you’re friends on Facebook, you probably have many misconceptions about moles.
Here are a few facts about moles you might not know about these annoying little animals that tunnel through your lawn, landscapes, gardens and flowerbeds.
Moles are insectivores, not rodents. They are from the same family as the anteater.
The mole's primary food source is the earthworm, and its diet is restricted to ground invertebrates such as grubs, millipedes, ants. Treating the lawn for grubs will not solve your mole problem.
Moles are not blind. Moles have extremely tiny eyes that are basically a thin membrane behind their snout. These eyes allow them only to sense light and little else.
Moles are territorial and do not get along with one another. They will often fight to the death if another mole infringes upon their territory. But they do sometimes share tunnels, like highways.
Moles are almost entirely carnivorous; however, it is true that moles can indirectly damage or kill plants. They can do this in two ways:
The tunnels created by moles will often be used by other small animals. Voles, in particular, will travel in these tunnels and eat away at roots and tubers.
A good place for grubs and worms is among the roots of a hedge, flower, or other type of plant. The mole will scrape the dirt away from the roots in search of food; this removes the plants’ source of nourishment.

Greenfeet Lawncare offers Mole Control. Our Mole control is a natural, organic granular repellant. It is made from castor oil, citronella oil, garlic oil and peanut hulls. The Mole Control works 3 ways; it repels the insects, smells bad to the mole (not to us), and it coats the worms with the castor oil and makes the worms taste bad. The treatment will work for approximately 30 days and will need to be reapplied every 30 days to maintain control.
6. You may first notice mole hills in the morning, but moles are not necessarily nocturnal or active only at night. Research shows that moles sleep and work in "shifts," moles can work up to four hours at a time. The do enjoy digging during quiet periods of the mornings and evenings. It is vibrations on the ground --created by people and pets walking, that usually causes them to stop their digging.
