mole removal and control
mole removal in ludington, MI
Moles can destroy a beautiful lawn in a very short time, and our goal at Hammond Animal Removal is to stop the damage fast. Many homeowners attempt to control moles by treating their yard for grubs, but moles eat far more than just grubs—so the tunneling and lawn damage continue. Others try using poisons, which can lead to serious risks for pets, people, and other non-target wildlife.
The most effective and humane way to eliminate moles is through trapping. It stops the problem at the source and leaves no harmful chemicals behind. That’s why trapping is the only method we use—safe, precise, and proven to work.
Here are some common signs you might have a mole problem:
- Raised Tunnels or Surface Runways Long, winding ridges running across your lawn are a classic sign. These raised tunnels feel soft or squishy when stepped on.
- Molehills (Soil Mounds) Small volcano-shaped piles of loose dirt may appear in your yard. These are entry or exit points where moles push soil to the surface.
- Soft or Spongy Areas in the Lawn Sections of your yard may feel uneven because tunnels have weakened the soil underneath.
- Increased Activity After Rain Mole activity often spikes after rainfall when soil is softer and easier for them to tunnel through.
If you are experiencing any of the above signs, give Hammond Animal Removal in Ludington a call today at 231-742-8468.
What Damage Do Moles Cause?
Moles may be small, but the damage they cause to your yard can be significant. Their tunnels push soil upward, creating unsightly ridges and mounds that make lawns uneven and difficult to maintain. As they tunnel, moles disrupt grass roots, leading to dead or thinning patches and brown streaks across your lawn. Over time, the tunneling can weaken soil, creating soft or spongy areas that may collapse while you walk on them. Moles can also disturb the roots of flowers, shrubs, and other landscaping, causing stress or even death to plants. In addition, other animals such as raccoons or skunks may dig into mole tunnels searching for food, resulting in even more damage. These underground passages can also create tripping hazards for children, pets, and anyone walking in the yard.
At Hammond Animal Removal, we specialize in safe, effective mole control to protect your lawn, landscaping, and family from further damage.
