Understanding Mole Behavior
Moles are burrowing mammals that create extensive tunnel networks just below the surface of lawns and landscaped areas. Unlike gophers, moles feed primarily on earthworms, grubs, and insects rather than plant material. However, their constant tunneling causes severe damage to turf, root systems, and the appearance of your property.
Moles are solitary animals with high metabolisms — they must eat 70-100% of their body weight daily to survive. This drives nearly constant tunneling activity as they search for food. A single mole can tunnel up to 100 feet per day, creating the raised ridges and soft spots that destroy lawns.
Moles create two types of tunnels: shallow surface tunnels used for feeding, and deeper tunnels for nesting and travel between feeding areas. The volcano-shaped mounds on your property are created when moles excavate deeper tunnels and push soil to the surface.
Signs of Mole Activity
Common signs that you need yard mole removal include:
Why Moles Are a Serious Problem
Mole damage extends beyond aesthetics. Tunneling severs grass roots, causing dead streaks across lawns. Tunnels create tripping hazards and make mowing difficult. The soil disruption can also damage shallow irrigation lines and create entry points for other pests that use mole tunnels to access plant roots.
Because moles are attracted to healthy lawns with abundant earthworms, well-maintained properties are often the most vulnerable to mole damage. Contrary to popular belief, castor oil and other home remedies do not reliably eliminate moles — professional trapping is the only consistently effective solution.
How We Control Moles
Our mole pest control process begins with a full property inspection to identify active tunnel systems and primary travel routes. Our technicians place professional traps where moles are most likely to encounter them — proper trap placement is critical, as moles quickly detect and avoid improperly set traps.
Service continues with follow-up visits and trap adjustments until no new mole activity is observed during the guarantee period. We do not use chemicals, poisons, or toxic baits. Our mole trapping methods are completely child-safe and pet-safe.
60-Day Guarantee
Our mole control service includes a 60-day guarantee. If new activity appears during this period, we return to address affected areas at no additional cost.
