Chris The Mole Man knows that much of the yard mole infestation throughout St. Louis can often be attributed to poor soil moisture control of your yard. Soil moisture can play a significant part in how much mole food exists in your yard. And this, often, is what's drawing moles in from throughout your st. louis neighborhood, making your yard an infested mess, while your neighbor's yard is not.

So what can be done to help prevent mole infestation?
If I have moles, can't I just water them away?
If that were the secret to being mole free, the secret would've been out long ago. The fact is, watering too much makes mole infestation WORSE. Don't Water Every Other Day! It often leads to mounding or widespread mole infestation that's like a 2'-6' deep ant farm, wining around deep under your lawn. Once you see this type of mole activity, chances are moisture issues are making your soil pull moles in too deep for trapping & means the soil's a mole magnet that needs Chris The Mole Man to treated your soil to Help Drive your moles out.
So, how do I use proper moisture control to help support my mole free effort?
You can't just water moles away. But, since moles are attracted to areas that stay wet, stay dry or are near these imbalanced areas, it's a good idea to water only a couple times / week and adjust your heads to an even spray to avoid a blotchy, uneven application of water (see video). If widespread tunnels or mounds are in the over/under served areas of your property, effective moisture control can make an impact.
