How to Identify a Mole Problem with BiteGuard

Moles are elusive underground pests that can wreak havoc on your lawn before you even realize they’re there. While they don’t eat your plants, their constant tunneling damages root systems, creates unsightly mounds, and leaves behind unstable, uneven ground.

What do moles look like?
Moles are small mammals typically 4 to 7 inches long, with velvety gray or brown fur, small eyes, and large, paddle-like front feet designed for digging. They live underground and rarely come to the surface, making them tough to spot—but the signs of their presence are hard to miss.

Common signs of a mole problem:

Raised tunnels: Winding, raised ridges just beneath the surface of your lawn or garden beds are a strong indicator of mole activity.

Molehills: Small, volcano-shaped mounds of loose soil appear when moles push dirt to the surface while digging.

Soft or spongy ground: Areas that feel soft, sunken, or unstable when walked on often point to extensive tunneling below.

Plant and lawn damage: Moles don’t feed on plants, but their digging can displace roots, leading to stressed or dead patches of grass and increased weed growth.

At BiteGuard, we know exactly how to spot mole activity and stop it fast. Our targeted, humane treatments eliminate moles at the source—so you can enjoy a healthier, safer lawn.
