Frequently Asked Questions

Look for raised ridges or soft, spongy areas in your lawn. These are surface tunnels. You may also notice volcano-shaped mounds of dirt called molehills. If your grass is dying in irregular patches with no obvious cause, moles are likely feeding on the root system below.

Raised tunnels you can feel underfoot are almost always the work of ground moles, and the fix that actually works is mechanical trapping set directly in the active runways, not poison baits, grub treatments, or sonic spikes. Trap Your Moles does exactly that across Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana. Call (513) 518-5639 and we will identify what is digging and remove it.

Call a mole trapping specialist rather than a general pest control company. Moles are insectivores, so the sprays and baits used for rodents and insects do not touch them. Trap Your Moles specializes in exactly this problem: a technician inspects your lawn, identifies the active tunnels, and sets traps in the runways until the moles are gone. Reach us at (513) 518-5639 for a free estimate.

We typically schedule an initial consultation within a few days of your call. Once we assess the property, trapping can begin immediately. Most customers see significant activity reduction within the first one to two weeks.

Rarely. Moles are territorial and will continue to expand their tunnel systems as long as there is food available. Without professional removal, populations grow and damage compounds season after season.

Every wildlife service we offer uses mechanical trapping, with no poisons and no toxic chemicals, and we show you exactly where traps are placed during every visit so you can keep your yard safely accessible. Mosquito and tick control is our one treatment-based service, and that page explains exactly what we apply and the re-entry time before kids and pets go back out.

Yes. We treat yards for mosquitoes and ticks across Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana, usually on a ten-visit annual program. We get rid of standing water first, then treat the shaded areas mosquitoes rest in and the edges where ticks live. The same treatment also knocks down fleas, ants, spiders, wasps, termites and cockroaches in the treated areas outdoors. Details are on our mosquito and tick control page.

If mole activity returns during your service period, we come back at no additional cost until the issue is resolved. We stand behind our work.
