Why do I have moles?

Moles are naturally attracted to well-maintained lawns rich in insects, grubs, and earthworms, especially near green belts, rivers, or fields, but they will invade almost any area where food sources are available and the soil is easy to maneuver. Once they establish underground tunnels, re-infestation is common, making prevention difficult; while grub control can help reduce their food supply, the most effective approach is to promptly contact a professional exterminator who can accurately identify and eliminate the problem, ensuring long-term protection for your lawn.

Moles sleep and work in 4-hour shifts, enabling them to be active for extended periods, which allows a single mole to cause significant damage to lawns and gardens.

Mole hills are used for a mole's garbage disposal; the tunnels underneath often go straight down and are not ideal for catching. We can catch moles in their smaller surface feeding tunnels, but we strive to locate a permanent tunnel which are the best for effectively catching moles.

Moles are subterranean mammals that rarely emerge to the surface to avoid predators. Moles are solitary and territorial animals, typically only coming together to mate in the spring. While their territories may overlap, they generally avoid each other, and encounters between males can escalate to deadly fights if they cross paths.

Moles possess saliva that contains a toxin capable of paralyzing earthworms, their primary prey, allowing them to store these still-living worms in their underground larders for later consumption.
