How Do You Get Rid of Moles in Your Yard?

The Best Way to Get Rid of Moles in Your Yard

The most effective way to get rid of moles in your yard is with repellants. Traps may catch one mole, but they don’t stop new moles from moving into the same tunnels. At Senske Services, we use a natural mole and vole repellent that targets their powerful sense of smell. The active ingredient is extremely unpleasant to these pests but undetectable to people. When we treat your lawn:

• Tunnels and runways become uncomfortable for moles and voles
• They move away to find a new feeding area
• You can focus on restoring your grass and landscape

Our repellent is a natural solution that is safe for pets and children when used as directed, and you won’t notice an odor.

How Our Mole and Vole Control Services Work

Senske technicians have been dealing with mole and vole issues for decades across Washington and Utah. Our process is designed to be humane, effective, and long term.

1. Inspection and Identification

First, we confirm what’s causing the damage.

• Moles create raised tunnels and mounds as they hunt for insects and worms.
• Voles leave surface runways and chew on roots, bulbs, bark, and seeds.

Knowing which pest is active allows us to treat the right areas in the right way.

2. Targeted Repellent Application

We apply our natural repellent across lawns, beds, and along known travel paths. Because moles and voles have sensitive snouts, they quickly find the treated areas unpleasant and move on.

3. Ongoing Protection

Removing a single mole with a trap doesn’t solve the bigger issue. Your yard is still attractive to new moles. Senske’s ongoing repellent treatments focus on making your entire landscape less appealing, helping reduce current activity and discourage future infestations over time.

As a full-service pest control provider in Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Oregon, and Utah, we can also help with other pests that may threaten your home or landscape.

DIY Tips to Help Between Treatments

Once you’ve started professional repellent treatments, there are a few simple steps you can take to support the process and make your yard less attractive to moles and voles:

• Keep grass trimmed and edges neat
  Shorter grass and clean borders reduce cover for voles and make tunnel activity easier to spot early.
• Remove clutter and heavy thatch
  Clear piles of wood, leaves, and yard debris. Rake out thick thatch so there are fewer hiding spots.
• Thin dense groundcovers
  Heavy groundcovers and overgrown beds give voles shelter. Lightly thinning them can reduce protection without changing your design.
• Protect vulnerable plants
  Consider using barriers or planting less vole-attractive species in high-pressure areas to reduce the appeal of your beds and borders.

These DIY steps won’t replace professional treatments, but they reinforce them and make it harder for moles and voles to settle in again.
