At Mole Control & More, we know that hiring someone to handle a mole problem isn’t something you do every day. So here are clear, honest answers to the questions we get most from customers in South King County.
How do you get rid of moles?
We use professional-grade visible catch traps placed in active mole tunnels. We don’t use chemicals, bait, or gas — just proven trapping backed by 20+ years of experience in South King County.
How do you find active mole tunnels?
We inspect your lawn for fresh mounds, shallow runs, and patterns that indicate recent mole activity. Our trap placement is strategic and based on years of local fieldwork.
Will I see the results?
Yes. We use visible trap systems, so you’ll know when a mole has been caught.
How long does it take to trap a mole?
Most moles are caught within 24 to 72 hours of trap placement, though it can vary depending on weather, soil conditions, and mole activity.
Will this damage my lawn?
No. Our trapping method is non-invasive and precise. You’ll see less damage than you would from moles continuing to tunnel freely.
Can I mow my lawn while traps are set?
Yes, but we recommend caution. We’ll mark trap locations clearly, and we’re happy to coordinate service timing around your lawn care routine.
How much does mole removal cost?
We keep it simple:
Do I pay upfront?
The setup fee is due when service begins. Mole catches are billed as they occur.
Are there travel fees?
Not within our standard service area. For locations just outside our core range, we’ll confirm any added travel cost before booking.
What types of properties do you service?
We trap moles for:
Can you help with farms or larger land parcels?
Yes. We handle larger properties throughout South King County. Let us know the layout, and we’ll create a plan.
Do you use any poison or gas?
No. Our method is 100% chemical-free, making it safer for pets, children, and the environment.
Is mole trapping humane?
We use mechanical traps that are designed to kill quickly. Our goal is to stop damage efficiently and ethically.
What happens to the moles?
They’re removed from your property once caught. We handle all cleanup and reset traps as needed.
What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve all of South King County, including:
Auburn, Kent, Federal Way, Covington, Des Moines, Fife, SeaTac, North Tacoma, North Puyallup, Algona, Tukwila, South Renton, and Pacific
How soon can you come out?
Usually within 1–2 business days, sometimes same day depending on location and workload.
How do I know if I have moles or something else?
Moles leave volcano-shaped mounds and raised surface tunnels. Gophers create fan-shaped mounds. If you’re unsure, we can identify the culprit for you during our visit.
Are moles dangerous?
They don’t bite or spread disease, but they damage lawns, root systems, irrigation lines, and landscaping.
Do moles go away on their own?
Not likely. Moles are territorial and active year-round in our mild Pacific Northwest climate. Left unchecked, they can spread quickly.
