Mole Pest Control Removal in Southern California

Q: How does professional mole removal work?

Professional mole removal starts with identifying active surface tunnels, placing specialized traps in confirmed active sections, and following up to remove caught moles and confirm elimination. A follow-up visit is included in every Rodent Guys initial service.

Q: How long does mole removal take?

Most residential mole removal is completed in 2-3 service visits spanning 1-3 weeks. Rodent Guys includes follow-up visits and backs every initial service with a 60-day guarantee covering retreatment if activity returns.

Q: Can pest control remove moles?

Yes, but moles require specialized pest control — standard rodenticide bait does not work on moles because they are insectivores. Effective mole removal requires trapping or carbon monoxide treatment by a specialist who knows how to identify active tunnels.

Q: Is mole removal safe for pets and children?

Rodent Guys uses only trapping and carbon monoxide for mole removal, no rodenticide bait. Both methods leave no surface residue and are safe for dogs, cats, and children immediately after service.

If you have mole tunnels pushing up ridges across your lawn, you need mole pest control removal that actually works. Most general pest control companies do not specialize in moles — they reach for the same bait they use for rodents, which does nothing to moles. Rodent Guys provides dedicated mole removal throughout Southern California using chemical-free trapping and carbon monoxide, backed by a 60-day guarantee.

Why Most Mole Pest Control Fails

The two most common reasons mole pest control fails:

Wrong method. Moles are insectivores — they eat earthworms and grubs, not grain. Rodenticide bait, which is the default treatment for most pest control companies, has no effect on moles. Some companies use worm-shaped bromethalin bait specifically marketed for moles, but results are inconsistent and the bait is toxic to dogs and cats that find it. Trapping and carbon monoxide are the only reliably effective mole removal methods.

Wrong tunnel. Moles create active hunting tunnels and abandoned tunnels. A company that places traps in every visible ridge without checking for current activity will consistently get poor results. The mole simply avoids disturbed sections and continues hunting elsewhere. Identifying active tunnels before placing traps is the step that makes mole removal work.

How Rodent Guys Mole Removal Works

Inspection. The technician walks the property to map all visible mole activity — surface ridges, mounds, and tunnel patterns — and assesses the extent of infestation.

Active tunnel identification. Raised tunnel sections are pressed flat. We return within 24 hours to identify which sections have been re-raised — confirming active use. Only active sections receive traps.

Trap placement. Specialized mole traps set in active tunnels at the correct depth and orientation. Moles are sensitive to soil disturbance; proper technique is critical.

Follow-up removal. We return to check traps, remove caught moles, reset if needed, and confirm elimination. This step is included in every initial service.

60-day guarantee. If mole activity returns within 60 days of service completion, we return and retreat at no additional charge. See our full guarantee details.

Carbon Monoxide Mole Removal

For properties with extensive tunnel systems, carbon monoxide treatment fills the entire underground tunnel network in a single treatment. CO dissipates naturally within the tunnel — no surface residue, no exposure risk for pets or children after treatment. This method is particularly effective when the extent of tunneling makes individual trap placement impractical.

Pet-Safe Mole Removal

Rodent Guys uses no rodenticide bait of any kind for mole removal. Neither standard anticoagulant bait nor worm-shaped bromethalin bait is used. Our trapping and carbon monoxide methods are applied underground and leave no surface residue. Read more about why pest control poisons are dangerous for pets.
