Client Flags Mole Activity
April 19th, 2013 by Tuff Turf Molebusters
Our client who lives on (or in) Reeds Lake flagged his new mole activity for us. We might have to check back on this lawn a little later before we do any mole control… give it an hour or two to dry.
Myth buster on moles
April 12th, 2013 by Tuff Turf MolebustersMyth buster: Moles can be drowned out of the lawn with a garden hose. TRUTH: God turned on His garden hose on Monday, and everybody’s lawn has been under water this week. When the lawns dry up, we will actually see a lot more mole activity than before this week of rain.

First Mole of the Year
March 22nd, 2012 by Tuff Turf MolebustersWe have officially killed our first mole of the year. We are hoping to break another record this year.
Moles do not hibernate
January 26th, 2012 by Tuff Turf MolebustersThis has been a great winter to be a mole. Moles don’t hibernate durring the winter, they simply move below the frost line. Since we don’t really have any frost, they have been close to the surface. When eastern moles go deeper, they tend to push up more piles. When they are close to the surface they leave the ridges.
Moles are Hidden Garden Treasures
December 6th, 2011 by Tuff Turf MolebustersI actually had an article sent to me boasting about the “benefits” of moles. Follow this link to read the article. By the way, the author is wrong about shrews. They are not insectivores. Does anybody else perceive moles as beneficial?
The final mole tally for 2011
December 6th, 2011 by Tuff Turf MolebustersOur traps have all been pulled from the ground. We ended up trapping 1787 moles this year. This is less than 2010, but we did not have the carbon monoxide gasser in 2010. We used our gasser a lot and have been very happy with the results.
