lawn moles


Question
I have some type of small moles in my yard. These do not burrow underground. there are no raised tunnels - rather there are sqiggly trails above the ground, mainly under my shade tree. I have killed a couple of these "moles" they are about the size of mouse and charcoal gray in color.

Answer
I suspect that your problem is not moles, but voles. Voles makes about ground "runway" tracks. They look like gray mice.
