Mole Control & Removal

Mole Info: Moles live underground and surface only occasionally. Their cylindrical bodies and powerful front claws are ideal for digging. They almost "swim" through dirt. Moles create a complex labyrinth of interconnected chambers by burrowing both deep and close to the surface, where they often leave visible ridges. Mole hills are places where the mole has pushed up earth above the surface. They have very poor sight and feed mainly on worms and insect larvae that they find by the sense of touch and smell. They do not eat roots or tulip bulbs. That is the work of voles.

Nuisance concerns: The primary problem with moles is the tunnels. They can leave ridged tunnels all over a lawn. They are not necessarily harmful, but can ruin your nice landscaping or yard.

Wondering how to get rid of moles? There is no magic spray or device that you can use to make them go away. Some people try to sell predator urine, such as coyote or fox urine to get rid of moles, but that doesn't work. They also try to sell ultrasonic sound emitters. These devices are worthless at eliminating moles. Some old wive's tales recommend the use of mothballs or ammonia-soaked rags to make them leave, but I've been to countless homes where these techniques failed - biologists know that these attempts won't work. The ONE AND ONLY WAY to take care of your problem is with trapping and removal of the animals.
