Have you noticed unsightly mounds of soil scattered across your yard or spongy, uneven patches on your once-pristine lawn? These are telltale signs of mole activity. While they may seem small and harmless, moles can cause significant damage to residential and commercial landscapes. If you’re facing this underground nuisance, professional mole removal is the most effective solution to reclaim your property.
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we specialize in humane and efficient mole removal services designed to protect your Portland home or business from ongoing turf destruction.
Why Moles Are a Problem in Portland
Portland’s climate, with its moist soil and mild temperatures, creates ideal conditions for moles to thrive. These small mammals are active year-round, digging extensive tunnel systems in search of grubs and earthworms. While they don’t feed on plants, their tunneling activity disrupts root systems, damages lawns, and weakens soil structure.
In a matter of days, one mole can tear through hundreds of feet of your yard, leaving you with:
- Raised surface tunnels
- Mounds of displaced soil (molehills)
- Dead grass and plants due to root disturbance
- Increased vulnerability to further pest problems
Without timely mole removal, what starts as a minor annoyance can quickly evolve into widespread and costly landscape damage.
Common Signs You Need Mole Removal
Because moles live underground, many property owners don’t realize there’s a problem until the damage is well underway. Some of the most common signs include:
- Ridged tunnels snaking through your yard
- Soil piles or volcano-shaped mounds
- Uneven ground or tripping hazards on your property
- Wilting or dead vegetation in otherwise healthy areas
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to call True Guard Pest & Wildlife for expert help
Why DIY Methods Often Fail
When moles strike, many homeowners reach for DIY remedies such as repellents, castor oil, vibrating stakes, or over-the-counter traps. Unfortunately, these methods rarely provide lasting results.
Moles are solitary, territorial, and elusive. They can detect changes in their environment quickly and often abandon treated areas in favor of fresh digging sites nearby. In other words, without professional mole removal, you may end up in a never-ending game of whack-a-mole—literally.
