Lawn & Garden Mole Removal
Gutter installers found a hornet nest in my home and couldn’t finish the installation. I called a number of large chain pest control companies but Ben explained his process over in detail that I could understand. He and his assistant came that same day. They were thorough and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend Stewart Pest Solutions.
Moles may be small, but their underground activity can cause significant damage to your lawn, garden, and landscaping. As they tunnel beneath the surface, they disrupt soil, tear through grass roots, and leave behind raised ridges and mounds that make your yard uneven and difficult to maintain.
Homeowners typically notice mole activity through winding surface tunnels or soft, raised areas across the lawn. While moles feed on insects like grubs and worms, their constant digging can quickly ruin otherwise healthy turf. Left untreated, their tunnel systems can expand rapidly and become difficult to manage.
Common Types of Moles Found in Michigan
Eastern Mole
The Eastern mole is the most common species found in Michigan. These moles are well-adapted for digging, with strong front claws and soft fur that allows them to move easily through soil. They create extensive tunnel systems in lawns and gardens, often producing visible ridges across the surface. Eastern moles are most active during spring and fall when soil conditions are ideal for digging.
Star-Nosed Mole
Star-nosed moles are less common in residential lawns but may appear in wetter areas such as near ponds, streams, or marshy ground. They are known for their unique, star-shaped snout, which helps them detect food in muddy environments. While they are not as destructive to lawns, they can still contribute to soil disruption in damp areas.
Mole Facts and Behavior
- Moles dig continuously, creating complex underground tunnel systems
- They feed on insects, worms, and larvae, consuming large amounts daily
- Moles remain active year-round, both day and night
- Their tunneling can damage plant roots and disrupt landscaping
- Surface ridges and soil mounds are the most common signs of activity
Stewart Pest Solutions Mole Control Programs
At Stewart Pest Solutions, we offer targeted mole control designed to reduce activity and protect your property long-term. Our approach combines trapping, baiting, and repellent barriers to effectively manage mole populations while following Michigan regulations.
We begin with a detailed inspection to identify active tunnels, ridges, and high-traffic areas. From there, we implement a multi-step strategy that may include:
- Strategic trap placement in active runways for immediate removal
- Baiting within tunnels to target moles below the surface
- Perimeter treatments using natural, castor oil-based repellents
- Recommendations to reduce moisture and improve soil conditions
This approach helps reduce mole activity significantly while preventing new intrusions.
