Quick answer: Trapping along active tunnels is the most effective way to remove moles, and addressing a grub infestation in the lawn helps prevent a new mole from moving in.
Moles tunnel just below the surface hunting for grubs and earthworms, leaving raised ridges and volcano-shaped mounds across lawns — damage that’s cosmetic but frustrating for anyone maintaining a yard.
Mole tunnels can also disturb plant roots and create uneven ground, and an active mole population usually means there’s a grub food source worth addressing too.
We identify active tunnels versus old ones, place traps along main runs, and advise on grub control if that’s what’s drawing moles to the property in the first place.

Traps are placed within active tunnels, out of reach of pets using normal yard access, and we position them carefully to minimize risk.
If grubs or earthworms are still abundant in the soil, a new mole may move in — addressing the food source helps prevent repeat activity.
Often yes — an active mole population usually points to a grub infestation worth treating separately.
