Signs You May Have A Mole Problem
The main signs that indicate you’ve got a mole problem in your lawn are raised surface tunnels, molehills, rapidly spreading lawn damage, root and plant disturbance, soft and spongy ground, and increased grub and insect activity.
Moles dig shallow, winding tunnels just under the surface of the soil. These show up as raised ridges or vein-like patterns across your lawn. If you press on them, the ground usually gives way. The small creatures push soil upward when they dig deeper tunnels. These appear as cone-shaped piles of loose dirt on the lawn or in garden beds.
Unlike gophers, mole mounds don’t contain visible holes in the middle. Because moles are efficient diggers (they can tunnel up to 100 feet in a day), new ridges and mounds often appear overnight or after a rain when the soil is softer. While moles don’t eat grass or plants, their tunneling disrupts the root systems. You may see wilting or dead patches of grass, flowers that don’t thrive, or areas where the soil seems loose and unstable.
If mole tunnels collapse, your lawn may feel uneven, soft, or spongy when you walk across it. This makes mowing difficult and can create trip hazards. Moles are drawn to lawns with plentiful food sources, especially earthworms and grubs. If you’ve noticed a spike in beetle grubs or soil insects, it could explain why moles moved in.

Moles Commonly Found in Ohio
Ohio is home to two primary species of moles, the eastern mole and the star-nosed mole. Although neither of these moles is directly destructive in the same way as rodents, their digging activity can cause significant property damage and secondary issues, and they can wreak havoc on your lawn and garden.
Moles push soil upward, creating ridges and molehills that ruin the smooth appearance of a yard. While moles primarily eat insects and worms, their tunneling can disturb the root systems of grass, flowers, and even small shrubs, causing plants to wither or die.
Extensive mole tunnels can weaken soil stability, creating hollow areas beneath the ground. Over time, this can lead to uneven ground or sinkage. Mole tunnels provide pathways for other nuisance pests like voles and mice, which can cause even greater damage by feeding on roots and stored bulbs.
For homeowners with children or pets, mole tunnels can create uneven ground, increasing the risk of tripping and injury.
Eastern Mole
The most common mole species in Ohio. Eastern moles are expert diggers, spending nearly their entire lives underground. They create extensive tunnel systems in search of earthworms and insects. Their tunnels often show up as raised ridges across lawns.
Star-Nosed Mole
Less common but still present in Ohio, especially near wetter soils and marshy areas. This mole is recognizable by its star-shaped nose, which is packed with sensory receptors. They are also strong diggers and excellent swimmers, making them a problem in yards with high moisture content.
Our Mole Removal Process – From Start to Finish
At Will’s Wildlife Control, we follow a proven step-by-step process to ensure moles are effectively removed and your yard is restored. Here’s how we do it.
Property Inspection
Every job starts with a thorough inspection of your property. We walk the lawn, gardens, and landscaped areas to identify active mole tunnels. We look for fresh soil mounds, raised ridges, and other signs of recent activity. By pinpointing the most active runs, we increase the efficiency of trapping.
Customized Plan of Action
Not all mole problems are the same. A small suburban yard requires a different approach than a large estate or commercial property. After our inspection, we design a targeted plan that includes the best trap placement, monitoring schedule, and removal strategy for your property.
Professional Trapping
Unlike DIY repellents or ineffective home remedies, professional trapping is the most reliable method of mole control. We strategically set traps in active runs and tunnels, ensuring maximum effectiveness while minimizing disruption to your yard. Our traps are carefully placed to humanely capture moles without posing risks to pets or children.
Monitoring and Removal
Over the course of several days to weeks, we return to monitor the traps, remove captured moles, and reset traps as necessary. This ongoing monitoring is critical, as moles can be active year-round in Ohio and often move in from nearby areas.
Follow-Up & Prevention
Once the mole population is under control, we provide follow-up recommendations to reduce the chances of re-infestation. These may include, regular monitoring of high-risk areas, adjusting irrigation to reduce overly moist soil that attracts moles, discussing soil treatment options if grub populations are high, scheduling annual inspections to catch problems early. Our follow-up ensures your property stays mole-free long after the initial removal.
There is only one way to eliminate moles successfully, and that is by trapping them with a device that quickly kills them. We cannot live-trap moles and then remove them from your property. Relocating moles off your property is against Ohio law.
