Moles are active year-round Activity near the surface occurs in early morning and late afternoon in the spring and fall and on cloudy, damp days of summer. The rest of the year is spent in deep tunnels 6 - 24 inches under the surface. If pit-fall trapping, relocate to a legal area at least several blocks away Inspect lawn for grubs. Don't assume they are present.
