If you’ve spotted molehills popping up across your lawn, your first instinct might be frustration. But before you wage war on these little diggers, it’s worth asking — could they actually be helping your garden more than harming it?
⸻
Yes, molehills can ruin the look of a freshly mowed lawn, and their tunnels can cause uneven ground. But these are mostly cosmetic issues — and surprisingly easy to fix with a rake or light roller.
What’s happening underneath the surface might be far more beneficial than it looks.
⸻
Moles aren’t after your plants — they’re hunting grubs, beetles, and larvae that can damage your grass and garden beds. A single mole can eat over 50 pounds of insects each year, reducing pest problems without any chemicals.
In other words, they’re doing pest control for free!
⸻
As they dig, moles naturally loosen and aerate your soil, helping water and nutrients reach plant roots more effectively. This improves drainage, boosts root health, and can even lead to stronger plants over time.
It’s like having a little underground gardener on the team.
⸻
Unlike voles or mice, moles are nearly 100% carnivorous. They don’t nibble bulbs or chew on roots. If anything, they’re helping your plants by removing the bugs that do.
⸻
If the hills bother you, try gently flattening them with a rake or creating a wild patch in your garden for wildlife (and mole) activity.
Reducing grub populations in your soil will also make your lawn less appealing to moles in the first place.
