What Is Digging Up Your Yard?

Most of our first calls start with "something is tearing up my lawn and I don't know what." Here is how we tell them apart on the first visit. If you are still not sure, call and describe it. We can usually name the animal over the phone.

Mechanical mole trap set in an active runway in a Cincinnati lawnOUR SPECIALTY

Mole Removal

The Eastern ground mole is the reason this company exists. We find the active runways, set mechanical traps directly in them, and come back to check and reset until the tunneling stops.

  • Mechanical trapping only, no poisons or gas
  • Traps checked and reset on a schedule
  • Lawns, gardens, athletic fields, commercial grounds

Signs: Raised ridges that give underfoot, volcano-shaped mounds of loose soil, dead strips of turf along the tunnel line.

Vole surface runway damage in a Northern Kentucky lawn

Vole Removal

Voles are plant-eating rodents that homeowners mistake for moles every week. They chew roots, bulbs and bark at ground level and need a different trap and a different plan.

  • Correct identification before any trapping
  • Runway and burrow trapping
  • Garden, landscape bed and orchard protection

Signs: Shallow surface runways the width of a garden hose, gnawed bark at the base of shrubs, bulbs that disappear.

Groundhog burrow entrance under a shed in a Dayton backyard

Groundhog Removal

Groundhogs dig burrow systems under sheds, decks, porches and slab foundations. We live-trap the animal, remove it, and tell you how to keep the next one from moving in.

  • Live trapping and removal
  • Burrow inspection under structures
  • Exclusion advice for decks and sheds

Signs: A hole 10 to 12 inches wide with a fan of excavated dirt, usually against a structure, plus chewed garden vegetables.

Raccoon on a residential roof near Cincinnati

Raccoon Removal

Raccoons get into attics, chimneys and crawl spaces and they do real damage once inside. We trap and remove them and identify the entry point so it can be sealed.

  • Attic, chimney and crawl space removal
  • Entry point identification
  • Under-deck and under-porch trapping

Signs: Heavy thumping overhead at night, torn soffit or roof vents, tipped trash cans, tracks with five long toes.

Squirrel entering a soffit gap on a Cincinnati home

Squirrel Removal

Squirrels nesting in attics and soffits chew wiring and insulation. We trap them, locate every gap they are using, and help you close the building up for good.

  • Attic and soffit trapping
  • Entry gap mapping
  • Repeat-offender prevention

Signs: Scratching in the ceiling at dawn and dusk, chewed fascia boards, gnawed cable or wiring, nesting material in the attic.

Chipmunk burrow hole beside a patio foundation

Chipmunk Removal

Chipmunks burrow alongside foundations, walkways, retaining walls and patios. Enough of them and the tunnels undermine the hardscape. Targeted trapping at the burrow entrances solves it.

  • Burrow-entrance trapping
  • Foundation, patio and retaining wall protection
  • Seasonal population control

Signs: Clean two-inch holes with no dirt pile beside them, usually along a foundation, walkway or stone wall.
