The problem
Mole & Vole Control, done right
Moles tunnel just under the lawn hunting for grubs and worms, leaving raised ridges and mounds of dirt. Voles are different: they make shallow surface runways and chew roots, bulbs and the bark of shrubs and young trees, often under the snow where you won't see it until spring.
We identify which one you've got, because the fix is different, and then target them in the lawn, beds and gardens.
Signs to look for
When to call us
- Raised ridges or volcano-shaped mounds of soil in the lawn (moles)
- Narrow trails through the grass that show up when the snow melts (voles)
- Bark chewed around the base of shrubs and young trees (voles)
- Bulbs and roots disappearing from beds
How we handle it
Out first. Then keep them out.
Identify
We work out whether it's moles or voles and where they're most active.
Target
We trap in the active runs and tunnels.
Protect
We fit guards on young trees and advise on mulch and cover that voles use.
This covers
- Moles
- Meadow voles
- Red-backed voles
Questions
What people ask us
Something else on your mind? Call and talk to a real person.
(207) 531-5524Do grub treatments get rid of moles?
Not reliably. Moles eat mostly earthworms, so removing grubs rarely solves the problem. Trapping works better.
Why are my shrubs dying after winter?
Look at the base. If the bark has been chewed all the way around, it's likely voles working under the snow.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the animal, how much of the house is affected and how hard the entry points are to reach. We inspect first and give you a straight written quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Will it come back?
Not if the entry points are sealed. Removal alone is a band-aid: another animal finds the same gap. We close the gaps with heavy-gauge materials so the problem is actually fixed.
Which areas do you cover?
Cumberland, York and Androscoggin counties in southern Maine, including Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, Biddeford, Saco, Brunswick, Lewiston and Auburn. Not sure if you’re in range? Call and ask.
