Mole & Vole Control
Moles cause cosmetic damage to lawns by creating volcano-shaped mounds and surface ridges while hunting for insects, often disrupting turf roots. Voles cause severe, often fatal, damage to plants by chewing bark, eating roots, and creating narrow, open surface runways, often killing trees, shrubs, and bulbs.
Think “V” for Vole = Vegetarian (eats roots) and “M” for Mole = Meat-eater (eats grubs).
Professional Mole & Vole Control: Protect Your Lawn and Landscape
Are mysterious tunnels and dirt mounds ruining your curb appeal? Moles and voles are two of the most common—and destructive—lawn pests. While they both live underground, they cause very different types of damage to your property. Our professional mole and vole control services are designed to identify the specific invader and implement a targeted solution to save your yard.
Mole Control: Stopping the "Lawn Excavators"
Moles are carnivores that hunt for insects like grubs and earthworms. While they don’t eat your plants, their digging habit is devastating to the health of your turf.
- Surface Ridges: Moles create raised, serpentine tunnels just beneath the soil surface that make your lawn feel “spongy” when walked upon.
- Volcano Mounds: They push up unsightly, volcano-shaped piles of dirt across your landscape as they excavate deeper tunnels.
- Root Disruption: Their tunneling activities often expose plant roots to air, causing garden beds and grass to wilt and die.
Vole Control: Protecting Your Plants and Trees
Unlike moles, voles are herbivores that actively feed on your vegetation. If left unchecked, a vole infestation can quickly kill expensive landscape trees and shrubs.
- Surface Runways: Look for visible, 1- to 2-inch wide paths cleared through your grass or mulch where voles travel.
- Girdling Damage: Voles chew the bark off the base of trees and shrubs near the ground; this “girdling” prevents nutrients from reaching the plant, often killing it.
- Bulb and Root Destruction: These pests frequently consume the root systems and bulbs of your favorite flowers from underground.
Why You Need Expert Mole and Vole Management
Accurate identification is the first step to an effective treatment plan. For example, voles will often use existing mole tunnels to travel undetected while they eat your plants, leading many homeowners to misidentify the culprit. Our expert team uses specialized methods tailored to each pest’s specific biology and behavior, ensuring your lawn remains a healthy, beautiful space for your family.
