The Mole Problem
Moles are tunneling machines. A single mole can dig up to 100 feet of new tunnels per day, searching for earthworms and grubs. The result? A once-beautiful lawn crisscrossed with raised ridges and dirt mounds.
Despite their small size, moles cause significant damage. Their tunnels damage grass roots, create tripping hazards, and leave lawns looking like a battlefield. They're also solitary—so even one mole can ruin a yard.
St. Louis soil conditions are ideal for moles. Our clay-rich soil holds moisture and earthworms—a mole's primary food source. Healthy lawns with good soil actually attract more moles.

My Treatment Approach
After 20+ years in lawn care, I know moles. Effective control requires identifying active tunnels and using proven methods.
Tunnel Assessment
I inspect your lawn to identify active vs. abandoned tunnels. Moles reuse main tunnels while foraging tunnels are often used once.
Strategic Treatment
Using trapping and/or baiting in active runs, I target the moles causing damage. Multiple methods may be combined.
Monitoring
Mole control often requires patience. I monitor for new activity and continue treatment until the problem is resolved.
