A healthy lawn is every homeowner’s pride, until it’s turned into a maze of raised tunnels and soft mounds overnight. If your once-smooth yard suddenly feels spongy underfoot or looks like something’s been digging beneath the surface, you may be dealing with a mole problem.
At A Plus Wildlife Control, we understand how frustrating mole damage can be. Our team is trained to remove these underground pests safely, humanely, and effectively, so you can enjoy your outdoor space again.
What Are Moles?
Moles are small, burrowing mammals with velvety fur, pointed snouts, and large front paws designed for digging. Though they rarely show themselves above ground, they live almost entirely beneath the surface, where they dig extensive tunnel networks in search of food, mainly earthworms and grubs.
Unlike some animals that dig to nest or hide, moles are solitary and territorial, meaning even a single mole can create an enormous amount of visible damage.
Signs You Have a Mole Problem
Moles don’t leave your typical chew marks or droppings, but they do leave plenty of signs behind. The most common include:
- Raised tunnels just beneath the surface of your lawn
- Molehills—volcano-shaped mounds of soil where moles push dirt to the surface
- Soft or spongy ground when you walk across the yard
- Dead patches of grass, where root systems have been disturbed
- Damage that seems to grow rapidly overnight
If your lawn suddenly looks like a miniature construction site, chances are good that a mole has moved in.
Why Mole Damage Is a Problem
While moles don’t eat plants or grass, their tunneling disrupts your yard’s root systems, causing plants and turf to wilt or die. Their digging can:
- Kill grass and ornamental plants
- Causes soil erosion and uneven ground
- Create tripping hazards for children or pets
- Attract predators like skunks and foxes, who dig up lawns in search of moles
- Destroy the look and function of flower beds, gardens, and landscaping
The longer moles stay in your yard, the more damage they will cause. And because their tunnels are extensive, it doesn’t take long for a small issue to become a widespread mess.
The A Plus Wildlife Control Solution
At A Plus Wildlife Control, we take a comprehensive, humane approach to mole removal. Our process includes:
✅ Inspection – We examine your yard to confirm mole activity, locate active tunnel systems, and assess the level of damage.
✅ Humane Trapping – We use safe, professional trapping methods to capture and remove moles without harming them or the environment.
✅ Prevention Advice – Once removed, we provide recommendations for long-term mole prevention, such as reducing grub populations, improving lawn drainage, and sealing access points to garden beds.
✅ Damage Assessment – If your yard has been severely affected, we can refer you to trusted partners for lawn repair and restoration.
Our goal is not just to remove the mole, but to stop the damage and protect your property long-term.
Don’t Wait—Act Fast
Mole activity can expand rapidly, especially in spring when the soil is soft and food is plentiful. Ignoring the signs will only exacerbate the damage and make it more expensive to repair.
