Traditional Mole Trapping
Mole Control with Safe, Organic Trapping Methods
We promote a totally organic and poison free way of catching moles, all we use is a trapping method. We have found this to be the most effective way of catching moles.
To start off we inspect the area that we are working for active mole tunnels, then we carefully place our traps in the ground. They will be covered for the safety of children and pets. We service the traps and monitor the entire area for activity at least three times a week. When all activity has stopped, we remove the equipment.
GUARANTEE:
Should another mole move in to your property within two weeks, we will waive the inspection and set up fees. Although one mole has been caught, you need to be aware that once a run is vacated by a mole, another mole can move into that set of tunnels offering a ready supply of food. Re-infestation therefore can & frequently does occur no matter which treatment method is used.

Mole Facts
Discover essential facts about moles to better understand these pests and how to effectively manage their impact on your property.
01
Mole Diet
Moles are insectivores, eating 70-100% of their weight in worms, grubs and bugs every day. So that they can seek out their ground-living prey, moles constantly excavate, leaving behind a series of tunnels. This digging calls for an incredible amount of power, which might also explain the mole's voracious appetite.
02
Moles depend on their noses
Moles have an amazing nose, their left and right nostrils can each smell independently, which means a mole can tell not just what a smell is but also where it is coming from. Moles also have the unique ability to close their nostrils to keep dirt out while they tunnel underground, helping them to navigate through soil without inhaling debris.
03
Moles aren't blind
Moles aren't actually blind however they do have poor vision and are extremely sensitive to light. They use little movement and scent sensors on the tip of their nose to find prey and other moles.
04
Moles are excellent diggers
Moles are remarkable diggers, capable of creating extensive underground networks at impressive speeds. A single mole can dig up to 18 feet of tunnels in just one hour. Their large, paddle-shaped paws are perfectly adapted for moving soil efficiently, allowing moles to burrow rapidly through the ground as they search for food or create new living spaces.
05
Moles are solitary creatures
Moles are highly territorial and will aggressively defend their tunnel systems from intruders, including other moles. Their solitary lifestyle and territorial behavior help them maintain control over their food sources and living space, ensuring that they have enough resources to survive without competition.
