What is the fastest way to get rid of moles in your yard?
By Action Termite and Pest Control

If you’ve noticed raised tunnels, dirt mounds, or patches of destroyed lawn, you may have a mole problem on your hands. These subterranean critters are notorious for tearing up beautifully maintained yards in their search for insects and earthworms. But can pest control really get rid of moles? At Action Termite and Pest Control, the answer is yes—and here’s how we do it.
Understanding the Mole Problem
Moles are solitary mammals that spend most of their lives underground, burrowing through soil with their powerful front claws. While they don’t eat plants, their tunneling can uproot grass, damage root systems, and leave unsightly trails across your property. Because they are not classified as typical “insects” or rodents, standard pest control sprays and baits are ineffective.
Professional Mole Control Solutions
At Action Termite and Pest Control, we approach mole control with specialized techniques tailored to their behavior and habitat. Our services include:
-
Monoxide Sprayer – The exhaust hose for the carbon monoxide sprayer is placed into an open burrow and covered slightly with dirt to create some back pressure. The carbon monoxide sprayer is turned on and allowed to run for a full three minutes per burrow. Holes showing smoke exuding from them are filled with surrounding soil. At the conclusion of each burrow’s treatment the exhaust hose is removed from the burrow opening and the hole is closed with soil, leaving no moles.
-
Baiting Options – In some cases, professional-grade mole bait may be used in active tunnels. These baits mimic the mole’s natural food and are placed deep within the tunnels for maximum effect.
-
Lawn Inspection and Monitoring – We conduct thorough inspections to determine the extent of the infestation and monitor activity to ensure the problem is fully resolved.
-
Preventive Advice – After mole removal, we provide guidance on how to discourage future activity, such as managing grub populations and maintaining healthy soil drainage.
