MOLE CONTROL SERVICES
TRAPPING & BAITING COMBO –
Our approach to controlling a mole situation usually involves Two (2) standard measures: Trapping & Baiting. If you want to be proactive and increase the chances of the trapping being effective, you could go walk in your yard and press down on the tunnels. Therefore, when the tech arrives all tunnels that are present are active tunnels. This allows us to have laser focus and make the most out of your trapping.
MOLE TRAPPING: The first step is setting traps in the active tunnels. These traps are designed to kill them quickly underground & humanely.
MOLE BAITING: When appropriate we can strategically place mole bait underground to attract the moles and once they eat the bait they die. We flag where there is bait and have a method to retrieve bait before we leave if they have not taken the bait away. Either way, the problem is resolved.
We charge a flat-rate fee for our mole control services and we have found this to be the most we can do as humans to have the upper hand in controlling the mole population in our yard.
MOLE GASSING:
This is either booked as a one-time treatment or a series of 4 visits: (Typically Initial Visit, Day 1, Day 3 and Day 7)
MOLE GASSING: When the situation is appropriate, we can utilize equipment designed to kill moles in their tunnels using a carbon monoxide gas.
We use a Carbon Monoxide Device that utilizes a smoke oil tracer to show you where most of the Carbon Monoxide is going. Carbon Monoxide can be used as an effective approach to control of burrowing rodents. As the Carbon Monoxide enters the burrow system, the rodent breathes it in. The Carbon Monoxide then replaces the oxygen in their blood. And without oxygen, cells in the body die and organs stop working.
Benefits of treating with Carbon Monoxide can include:
• Direct targeting of rodents within the burrow system.
• No reliance on bait acceptance that sometimes hinders rodenticide and trapping efforts.
• No secondary toxicity concerns for scavengers and predators.
• It seldom requires handling of animals after treatment, which reduces the risk of disease and parasite transmittance to humans.
• It can be highly efficacious.
• Designated as a pest control device by the EPA.
Some of the common cities that we have provided mole trapping services to are: Alpharetta, Cumming, Johns Creek, Dawsonville, Duluth, Milton, Gainesville, Dawsonville, Ellijay, Roswell, Suwanee, Big Canoe

It is amazing what damage a mole can do to a beautiful lawn. How quickly they can destroy a yard is surprising. Our mole control services can bring you quick relief. This is one of the few services that can cross-over between wildlife control & pest control. There is an easy way to explain this…
The mole lives in the seclusion of underground burrows, rarely coming to the surface. Although most people believe their yard is overrun with moles, moles are considered to be a loner. On several occasions, two or even three moles have been trapped at the same spot, but that does not necessarily mean they had been living together in a particular burrow. Networks of runways made independently occasionally join otherwise separate burrows. Because of their food requirements, moles must cover a larger amount of area than do most animals that live underground. In wet weather, runways are very shallow; during a dry period, they range somewhat deeper, following the course of earthworms.
Mole Habits
Did you know moles spend most of their lives alone and underground in their tunnels? Moles are such loners, in fact, that three to five moles per acre is considered a lot. Moles spend their time digging tunnels and hunting for food. A permanent tunnel is usually about 2 inches in diameter and 8 to 12 inches below the surface, while temporary tunnels are usually right under the surface of the ground.
Mole Diet
It is a misconception that moles eat the roots of plants. They are actually after the earthworms that are found in garden soil. Moles love earthworms so much that they eat nearly their body weight worth of earthworms per day. Moles also consume insect larvae (grubs).
