Mole Control in Rochester Hills

In Rochester Hills, Michigan, moles can become a serious problem for homeowners looking to keep their lawns looking neat and healthy. Moles tunnel beneath the soil in search of food, leaving behind visible mounds and unsightly surface damage. Fortunately, effective mole control strategies can help protect your Rochester Hills lawn from these pesky creatures.

Start by reducing the mole's food source. Moles primarily feed on grubs, earthworms, and other insects. You can’t do much about the earthworms and insects, but applying grub control treatments will eliminate one of their late summer food sources. Additionally, using mole repellents, often made from natural ingredients like castor oil, may help drive moles away without harming your lawn.

If moles have already invaded your property, trapping is one of the most effective ways to remove them. Place mole traps along their active tunnels and check them daily. The trick with traps is to set them without causing too much disturbance to the moles’ tunnel. If the mole detects too much disturbance, it will just tunnel around the trap.

At Owen Tree and Lawn Care we have found mole baits to be an effective method to get rid of moles. The baits have the shape and texture of an earthworm, which is what comprises about 90% of a mole’s diet. The baits are placed at intervales in an active tunnel.

By following these tips and acting early, you can minimize mole damage and maintain a lush, healthy lawn all season long. If you are having trouble with moles in your lawn we offer a season-long mole baiting program. Send us a message or call us at 800-724-6680 to find out the details of our mole baiting program.
