How it Works
Placed in the mole tunnel and set. When the mole walks into it, the snap mechanism is activated thus fatally crushing the mole .

Mole Damage

Visible Mole Damage

The destruction most people associate with moles is the volcano-like mounds of dirt that are pushed to the surface. Moles will use their powerful front paws to claw at the dirt and pack it on all sides to create a tunnel. They will then turn around in their tunnel and push the dirt to the surface. The excavated dirt creates a pile that can get larger than 2 feet in diameter (although most are ?' -?' in diameter). These unsightly piles will then settle to create bare spots on grass.

Another common calling card of lawn moles or garden moles is the "surface tunneling" that appears as a long series of "vein-like" upward cracks in soft soil such as newly-laid sod or gardens.

Many people with mole problems complain of walking across their lawn only to notice their feet sinking on what feels like spongy grass. Many times this sinking feeling is caused by the weight of the person collapsing a shallow mole tunnel.

Moles can undermine concrete slabs, driveways, pools, and even shallow foundations. These situations can be either irreparable or extremely expensive to fix. Most insurance policies will not cover this type of damage, so you now have a very good reason to get rid of your moles quickly with effective mole control.

Of this type of mole damage, the worst we have ever seen was a gentleman whose pool had been undermined from the bottom. His pool tiles consequently cracked from the weight of the water and his pool had to be drained, unearthed, resealed, and re-filled. The total charges went up to almost $3,000.

Non-Visible Mole Damage

The mole damage you don't see is usually the most destructive. When you see several piles on a lawn, you should realize that dirt is coming from somewhere and often times it is from deep tunnels in the ground. Moles are extremely efficient diggers and can excavate 12 ¨C 15 feet of tunnel per hour. These tunnels will probably not be noticed at first, but people who have had moles for several years complain of their entire soil level sinking, or they notice large sunken areas in the grass. This type of damage can be impossible to simply "patch up" and often times will require tilling the entire lawn and replanting it.

One gentleman we worked for had the foundation of his patio supports undermined by deep tunneling. His entire patio sunk and required a backhoe to repair the damage. On many other occasions, we have seen several people who had to bring in several dump truck loads of soil to replace the undermined areas and reseed the entire lawn.
