As you
can see in the photos below, mole damage can be quite extensive, not
to mention costly to repair. Setting traps at the first sign of mole
damage can save expensive landscape repairs.
The above photo
illustrates just how large mole runs can be!
Left unchecked,
severe damage can occur to your lawn from the digging and tunnelling
of moles.
