Mole Damage
Let’s assume you would like to find the mole that is singlehandedly ruining your lawn and remove him from the premises. You will need to know where he is and you can only achieve that if you know how to “read” mole tunnels.
On the list of things that are “good to know” about tunnels is moles do not hibernate. They stay active in winter because their burrows are usually below the frost line. You may not notice the ongoing activity, but come warmer temperatures the surface tunnels will reappear.

Moles also dig "temporary" tunnels from the side tunnels. The “temporary” tunnels are what the mole uses to look for food. They are just under the surface of the soil and they are used once to search for food. When hungry, the mole simply digs new temporary tunnels. This habit is what tears up your nice lawn.
