You flatten it, and new damage shows up nearby.
Meet the culprit
The eastern mole: a small digger that does big damage.
The eastern mole is the most common mole in Illinois. It spends nearly its whole life underground, hunting worms and grubs through a network of tunnels. The mounds and ridges you see are just where its digging breaks the surface.
FastA tireless digger. Shallow feeding tunnels can stretch across a yard in a single day.
HungryAlways eating. A mole can eat close to its own body weight in worms and insects every day.
Spring & fallPeak seasons. Activity tends to jump when the soil is cool and moist, especially after rain.
FewIt doesn't take many. One or two moles can be behind a surprising amount of damage.
Is it really a mole?
Read the evidence in your lawn.
Moles, voles and gophers leave different calling cards. If you see volcano-shaped mounds and raised runs, you've got moles.
Voles Look-alike
- Worn surface paths in the grass
- Small, open golf-ball-sized holes
- No mounds; they chew plants and roots
Pocket gophers Look-alike
- Fan- or crescent-shaped mounds
- Hole plugged off to one side
- No raised ridges between mounds
