MOLE CONTROL

Santa Monica, CALIFORNIA

Santa Monica lawns—particularly around Santa Monica City Hall on Olympic Drive—frequently show signs of mole activity including raised tunnels.

Santa Monica lawns and landscaped areas—particularly around Santa Monica City Hall on Olympic Drive—frequently show signs of mole activity including raised tunnels and soft, uneven turf.

Moles are burrowing mammals that spend most of their time underground, creating surface tunnels and disrupting lawns, gardens, and landscaped areas. Their activity can quickly damage turf, irrigation systems, and plant roots if left untreated.

Common Mole Damage in Santa Monica

• Raised surface tunnels across lawns and landscaped areas
• Soft or collapsing turf caused by underground activity
• Damage to plant roots and irrigation lines
• Uneven ground that affects the appearance and safety of the property

How Mole Control Works

Mole control begins with identifying active tunnel systems and determining the most effective placement for traps. Our technicians focus on targeting main travel runs to stop activity quickly and prevent further damage.

Traps are monitored and adjusted as needed until no new mole activity is observed. All work is performed with safety and effectiveness in mind to protect people, pets, and surrounding landscaping.

Guarantee

Mole control services include a service guarantee beginning on the first day of treatment. If new mole activity appears during the guarantee period, we return to address affected areas at no additional cost.

Why Santa Monica Lawns Attract Moles

Moles are drawn to Santa Monica properties with healthy, well-watered lawns because moist soil contains more earthworms and grubs—their primary food source. Properties near parks, golf courses, or natural areas often see higher mole pressure. A single mole can tunnel 100 feet per day searching for food, creating extensive damage quickly.

Signs You Need Professional Mole Control in Santa Monica

Mole damage is distinctive and often appears suddenly. Watch for these warning signs on your Santa Monica property:

• Raised ridges running across your lawn
• Soft, spongy areas when walking on grass
• Volcano-shaped mounds of fine soil
• Dead grass along tunnel lines from root disturbance

Acting quickly limits damage. Moles tunnel aggressively and can destroy a lawn's root system in a matter of weeks if left untreated.
