Moist, Well-Watered Soil Moles are attracted to moist soil, which makes it easier for them to dig and find their favorite food sources.
Abundant Food Sources The presence of earthworms, grubs, and insects in your yard provides a steady food supply for moles.
Loose, Sandy Soil Moles prefer soft, loose soil that is easy to tunnel through, particularly sandy or loamy types.
Thick, Overgrown Lawns Overgrown lawns with long grass can provide moles with cover and access to plenty of insects below the surface
Underground Water Sources Areas near underground streams or irrigation systems attract moles, as they thrive in damp environments.
Lush Gardens and Flower Beds Moles are drawn to gardens where they can find insects and larvae, particularly in rich, well-maintained beds.
Decaying Organic Matter Decomposing plant material, such as fallen leaves or mulch, attracts insects and creates a food-rich environment for moles.–
Lack of Natural Predators If your yard lacks natural mole predators, such as foxes or hawks, moles will feel safer to invade and dig tunnels.
