Ground Mole Removal and Mole Control for Cincinnati, Dayton and Northern Kentucky Yards
Our mole control service is mechanical trapping, nothing else. A technician walks your lawn, finds the runways the ground mole is still using, and sets traps directly in them. We come back to check and reset the traps until the tunneling stops. No poison baits or gas cartridges, and the estimate is free.
Raised tunnels across the lawn. Mounds of loose dirt. Ground that gives under your feet. That is a ground mole, and trapping is the only method that reliably gets rid of it. Guaranteed results.
Looking for a mole exterminator? This is that service. We remove the moles themselves, one runway at a time, instead of spreading poison bait around your lawn and hoping.
This page is about the animal digging up your yard, not a mole on your skin. Curious how the trapping works? See how our mole trapping works.

Mole Damage: Signs to Look For
Moles create distinctive ridges and tunnels that destroy the structure of your lawn. Look for raised tunnels running across your yard, soft sunken areas, and mounds of excavated soil. These signs indicate active mole activity that requires immediate professional removal.
- Raised ridges running across the lawn
- Small conical mounds of dirt (molehills)
- Soft, spongy ground from tunnel systems
- Dead grass and vegetation damage
- Surface tunnels visible in spring and fall
Ground, Yard and Garden Moles
Ground mole, yard mole, lawn mole, underground mole: whatever you call it, the animal we trap is the Eastern ground mole. It is an insectivore that tunnels under lawns and garden beds hunting earthworms and grubs. It does not eat your plants, and it does not hibernate, so it keeps digging year round. We trap it in home lawns and garden beds, and on athletic fields and commercial grounds.
The raised ridges you see are mostly shallow feeding tunnels, and they show up after rain, when wet soil brings earthworms up into the top few inches. The deep main runways are the ones a mole travels every day, usually in straight lines along driveways, fence lines and beds. That is where our traps go. If the runways are shallow and plants are being chewed, it is likely voles instead, and we handle vole removal too.
Mole Control Service vs Store-Bought Products
The store shelf offers poison baits, castor oil repellents, grub killers and sonic spikes. Poison baits are made for rodents that eat bait, and a mole eats earthworms and insects, so it mostly ignores them. Repellents wash out of the soil, and killing grubs removes only part of the diet while the mole keeps tunneling. A mole control service skips all of that and puts a mechanical trap in the runway the mole is actually using. For the method by method breakdown, read our guide on how to get rid of moles in your yard.
