9 SAFE and effective remedies to get rid of moles in your yard — without using toxic baits and gases! If you’re been waking up to unsightly mounds and molehills in your backyard, this guide on how to get rid of moles is perfect for you.
Moles are small burrowing insectivores that are around 6 to 8 inches long. They are usually brown to gray with their characteristic slender, hairless snouts.
Moles live a solitary life, only tolerating others during mating season. Breeding takes place during the spring between early February and late March depending on your locale.
Fortunately, moles generally aren’t dangerous to humans since we rarely come into contact with them. But they can sometimes carry parasites such as fleas and ticks, and in very rare cases have been found to also carry rabies.
