Wildlife Control for Moles

Moles are small, insectivorous mammals that live almost entirely underground. They have cylindrical bodies, small eyes and ears (often hidden by fur), and large, paddle-like front feet equipped with strong claws, perfectly adapted for digging. Their diet primarily consists of earthworms, grubs, and other soil-dwelling invertebrates.

In their constant search for food, they create extensive networks of tunnels just beneath the surface, which can lead to the visible damage we see in our yards. While they don’t eat plants or roots directly, their tunneling disrupts the soil and root systems, causing damage to lawns.

Moles are attracted to areas with plentiful food supplies, which often include lawns with healthy earthworm and grub populations. The moist, earthy soil found in many of the areas we service provides an ideal environment for them to tunnel easily. If your yard offers a readily available food source and suitable soil conditions for their subterranean lifestyle, you may have moles. They are solitary animals, so even the presence of numerous molehills might indicate the activity of just a few individuals with extensive tunnel systems.

Moles are not typically considered dangerous to humans or pets. They are not aggressive and rarely come into direct contact with people. However, their tunneling activities can create tripping hazards in your yard due to uneven surfaces and soft spots.

Also, the damage they cause to your lawn can be aesthetically unpleasant and can indirectly harm your grass and other vegetation by disrupting their root systems. The primary concern with moles is the damage they inflict on the appearance and usability of your lawn.

Typically, trapping is the most effective and humane method for long-term mole pest control. While various deterrents and home remedies exist, they often provide only temporary relief. Here at Peachtree Pest Control, we utilize professional-grade trapping techniques for effective mole extermination:

• Targeted Approach: Leveraging our in-depth understanding of mole behavior, our experienced wildlife technicians meticulously identify active tunnel systems and strategically position traps within these key areas to maximize capture efficiency and effectively target the current mole population.
• Humane Removal: We are committed to employing humane trapping techniques that prioritize the safety and well-being of the moles. Our methods are designed to capture the animals without causing undue stress or harm, reflecting our responsible approach to wildlife management.
• Long-Term Solution: By physically removing the moles from your property, we directly address the source of the lawn damage. This provides a more enduring solution compared to temporary repellents or surface treatments that don’t eliminate the underlying problem.

Peachtree Pest Control employs a proven, step-by-step process for effective yard mole removal from your property:

1. Thorough Inspection: We begin with a detailed inspection of your yard to identify active mole tunnels and determine the extent of the infestation. Understanding the layout of their tunnel systems is crucial for successful trapping.
2. Strategic Trap Placement: Our trained technicians will strategically place professional-grade mole traps within the active runways and near molehills, maximizing the chances of capture.
3. Regular Monitoring: We will regularly check the traps to ensure the timely and humane removal of any captured moles.
4. Removal and Relocation (if applicable and legal): Once a mole is captured, we will safely remove it from your property. Depending on local regulations and ethical considerations, relocation to a suitable habitat away from your home may be an option.
5. Follow-Up and Prevention Advice: After the initial removal, we may recommend follow-up trapping if activity persists. We will also provide you with practical tips on how to make your yard less attractive to future mole populations.
