Video of the Day If your yard has mole tunnels, you may think a whole family of moles has invaded, but all the symptoms you see probably were caused by a single animal. Moles are solitary and territorial, and they fight to the death over control of a feeding ground. Those factors simpl...
Since I bought my home about two years ago, I have had one nuisance that doesn't seem to want to go away. Moles. I know that I am not the only one who has an infestation of them in your yard. They are constantly tearing up your yard and their little "underground tunnels" make it...
roadways, public utilities and telecommunications. We'll look at the defining characteristics of tunnels and examine how tunnels are built. We'll also look at the "Big Dig" in detail to understand the opportunities and challenges inherent to building a tunnel. Finally, we'll look at the...
Moles live underground, and the majority of their subterranean excavation typically goes unseen. But, as moles dig tunnels in their hunt for food, the soil they remove from the channels gets pushed out into mounds of dirt on the surface of the yard. Signs of a mole infestation in the yard...
Once at the surface, the gopher pushes dirt off to one side or the other of the mound, making the fan shaped mound of dirt. The soil plug is then used to seal off the tunnel. To find the lateral tunnel, kneel down on the side of the mound that contains the most dirt, then with...
Some crickets, such as mole crickets, dig tunnels in the ground with megaphone-shaped entrances. When the males sing from just inside the burrow openings, the shape of the tunnel amplifies the sound enabling it to travel across a broader range of distance. ...
Groundhogs leave telltale holes across the landscape, with each hard-to-miss tunnel entrance 6 to 12 inches wide. They usually dig several entrances to their tunnels. Groundhogs Cause Damage Groundhogs can easily decimate a garden by munching on anything they find tasty, such as melons, peas...
Where do chipmunks put the dirt? They have escape tunnels and side pockets connected to their main shafts. These burrows may be hard to detect because there is no obvious mound of dirt around the entry points. The chipmunk will carry the excavated dirtin here cheek pouchand scatter it away...
In spite of those challenges, researchers at NASA think we may find traces of lifein next couple of decades. More powerful telescopes could be one key to finding it. Or it could be that life here is just a statistical aberration, an accident of the weirdest kind. Maybe this odd swamp of...
