Powerful paws and large claws are the mole's main "weapon", thanks to which it can easily deal with roots and even cables and pipes laid in the ground.
This is the reason why all summer residents need high-quality protection from moles, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
But before you start fighting the pest, it wouldn’t hurt to find out why it chose your site among dozens of others.
And the main factor that makes a mole work its paws hard is food.
The whole point is that in developed cultivated lands there are a lot of insects that settle on leaves, the surface of the earth and in the thickness of the soil.
In addition to this, loose soil is easier to dig, and it also contains a large number of earthworms, and this is no longer an ordinary dinner for a mole, but a real delicacy.
In addition, compost, or more precisely, the beetles and larvae found in it, can also serve as bait for moles.
Finally, a person who scares away foxes, dogs and cats from his property is doing himself a disservice, thereby getting rid of the biological enemies of moles.
