How Does a Person Repair a Lawn That Has Mole Trails in It?

Mole Removal

• Obtain mole bait or traps to rid your garden or lawn of moles. For traps, you can use your own bait with common pantry items like peanut butter. Monitor the traps or holes to see if moles take the bait. Watch your lawn closely to see if mole activity decreases or stops.

Sodding

• Go to your local garden and lawn supplier and research which sod is best for your lawn. When measuring the amount of sod you will need, don't overdo it. Even if you have a lot of mole holes throughout the property, it takes very little sod to repair each one. Ask the retailer how often a particular sod requires watering.

Process

• Attend to each mole hole by first collapsing it. You can use a shovel, garden hoe or the heel of your boot. Then collect your sod and an implement for cutting it. At the hole, cut a piece of sod and plug the hole. Make the sod flush with the surface of the lawn by removing excess clumps or dirt. Repeat this process until you've tended to all the damaged sites.

After Care

• Based upon your retailer's advice, water the newly-repaired lawn sites as often as instructed. Monitor your lawn for future mole activity, and take steps to remove these critters as soon as you observe any damages resulting from them.
