Signs of Mole Damage In Lawns

Moles are insect hunters—not plant eaters—but the tunnels they create cause major property damage.

Symptoms of Mole Activity

  • Raised ridges running across the lawn

  • Mounds of loose soil (volcano-shaped)

  • Soft or collapsing ground

  • Surface tunnels that disrupt irrigation or drainage

Unlike voles, moles tear up your lawn chasing grubs and earthworms, leaving behind extensive surface disruption.

Signs of Vole Damage In Lawns

Voles are often mistaken for mice, but they cause very different problems outdoors.
Common signs of vole activity include:

  • Shallow surface runways through grass or mulch

  • Gnaw marks on shrubs, trees, and roots

  • Small burrow openings (1–2 inches) near foundations, patios, sheds, or garden beds

  • Plant death due to root destruction

Why Voles Are a Serious Problem

Voles chew vegetation and root systems, causing irreversible plant damage. A vole colony can destroy:

  • Garden beds

  • Decorative shrubs

  • Newly planted trees

  • Sod and turf roots

Left unchecked, voles reproduce extremely fast, creating multiple litters per year, making early control critical.

Our Mole & Vole Treatment Process

Moles and voles are active, fast-breeding lawn pests that require a strategic, ongoing approach rather than a one-time treatment. Our process is designed to reduce the active population as efficiently as possible while closely monitoring activity until control is achieved.

Vole Treatment Process

Voles travel and feed through visible surface runs just beneath the grass. To control them effectively, we target these active pathways directly.

  • Rodent bait stations are installed on top of the soil, placed precisely into active vole runs

  • Stations are positioned to intercept vole movement without broadcast baiting

  • Treatments focus on high-activity areas to reduce the population quickly and safely

  • Weekly follow-up visits are required to assess activity and adjust placement

Mole Treatment Process

Moles live and travel through underground burrow systems, requiring a different approach than surface-feeding rodents.

  • Treatments are applied inside active mole burrows, not on the surface

  • A combination of Talprid® mole bait and professional-grade mole traps is used

  • Burrow systems are evaluated and reworked as activity changes

  • Weekly follow-ups ensure continued pressure until tunneling stops

Follow-Up & Timeline Expectations

  • Both mole and vole services require weekly follow-up visits

  • Most properties require 3–8 follow-ups to achieve control

  • Heavily infested properties or large yards may require additional visits

  • Treatments continue until active tunneling and run damage has ceased

Important Expectations & Guarantees

  • Due to environmental factors and surrounding properties, we do not guarantee that moles or voles will not return

  • There is currently no reliable long-term prevention for moles or voles

  • Our service focuses on active population reduction, not permanent exclusion
