To get rid of moles, the approach depends on whether you mean moles in your yard or skin moles on your body.

Getting Rid of Moles in Your Yard

• Remove food sources: Moles feed on lawn grubs and insects, so reducing these can discourage moles from staying

• Trapping: Use mole traps or DIY traps such as a buried bucket trap to catch and relocate moles

• Repellents and scarers: Some repellents or sonic scarers can deter moles, though effectiveness varies

• Physical removal: In some cases, physically removing moles is necessary, but this can be challenging

Getting Rid of Skin Moles

• Professional removal: Dermatologists can remove moles safely using freezing (liquid nitrogen), burning (electrocautery), shaving, or excision (cutting out the mole and stitching). Excision is preferred if cancer is suspected

• Avoid home remedies: Many home remedies (garlic, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, essential oils, lemon juice, etc.) are unproven and can cause skin irritation, burns, or scarring

• Do not self-remove: Cutting or burning moles at home is risky and not recommended, as it can lead to infection or leave cancerous tissue behind

Summary

• For yard moles, reduce their food, trap them, or use repellents.
• For skin moles, consult a dermatologist for safe removal; avoid home treatments or self-removal due to safety concerns.

This ensures effective and safe mole removal whether in your lawn or on your skin
