Moles in St Charles, Missouri
Eastern moles prefer soft sandy soils which can be found in the St. Charles Missouri’s lawns and gardens, golf courses, pastures and other park like settings. The Eastern mole makes extensive underground passages called tunnels in the soft loomy soil around your home, In the spring the Eastern mole makes shallow surface tunnels that is very visible. This type of tunnel can be very destructive to a well manicured lawn. The Eastern mole continues to use these shallow surface tunnels throughout the summer and into the fall seasons. As these moles tunnel along in your yard their main food source which is the earthworm is readily available. As the temperature drops and the earthworms began to go deeper into the ground so do the moles. In the wintertime the Eastern mole makes Deep tunnels in your yard which can be identified by the mounds of dirt throughout your yard. This is called a relief hole mound. As the mole digs in your yard he accumulates a large amount of dark in his underground tunnels in which he must dispel. These mounds of dirt you see is from the mole bringing the excess dirt to the surface.
