Keep moles and gophers out of your yard

Mole and Gopher Habitat Management
Tamping down the run before mowing will prevent damage to to your lawn and equipment. Care should be taken to limit the amount of watering you do to your lawn as this increases the amount of earthworms and other mole prey and keeps them near the surface which will create more surface tunneling. Natural lawns which contain native grass or plants will help prevent the need to water to promote growth. Using non-toxic methods such as insect and grub control are also helpful since this will limit the food source for the mole.

Exclusion for Moles and Gophers
Hardware cloth (1/4" mesh) can be buried around flower or garden plots in recommended L-shaped footer configuration. Concrete edges buried 8 to 12 inches underground when used can keep weeds from spreading into flower beds and may repel moles from tunneling. These methods of control can be extremely costly and labor intense and should only be considered if extreme conditions prevail.
