Test results using chemicals as a control can also be distorted. Two that come to mind were both done in part by the same entomologist at the University of Michigan. Although this fun and games approach may relieve frustrations, these and other home remedies have little if any value in controlling moles. Suburban construction gobbles up or modifies hillsides and pastureland, leaving little or no room for woodland creatures. 2 - Artificial biomasses created and maintained through current landscaping practices.
Most landscaping depends on artificial or chemical means of maintaining lawns and beds.
These soils are kept rich with chemical nutrients as well as heavy applications of organic materials such as mulch and top soils. 3 - Unreliable methods of control. The mole has an unusually low birth rate for a small mammal. Litter sizes are three to four pups once a year. There are no chemical solutions to a mole problem and trapping is the most reliable method of control.
