Moles have been active this season with increasing number of tunnels visible in yards. Ohioline Fact Sheet reveals that high water tables bring the moles closer to the ground surface which is why we are seeing more this year. OSU Extension recommends identifying main runways, those that appear to connect two mounds or feeding areas, and trapping the moles. Normally this would be most effective in spring or fall since moles are usually in deep soil in summer and winter. This summer might be the exception with a high water table.
