Moles — Control & Prevention in Metro Atlanta & North Georgia
A single mole can tunnel up to 100 feet a day, turning a manicured lawn into a maze of raised ridges and volcano-shaped mounds. Moles aren't eating your grass — they're hunting earthworms and grubs beneath it — but their tunnels wreck root systems, create mowing hazards, and open highways that voles and other rodents borrow later.
DIY remedies — grub killers, sonic spikes, chewing gum, home remedies of every kind — have poor track records. Forsyth Exterminating uses professional trapping placed in active runs, the method consistently shown to work, and keeps at it until your lawn is quiet again.
Signs You Have a Mole Problem
- Raised ridges snaking across the lawn
- Volcano-shaped soil mounds
- Spongy ground underfoot
- Damage worst in moist, shaded turf
How We Solve It
Activity mapping
We identify which tunnels are active runs versus abandoned exploration — the key to effective placement.
Professional trapping
Traps set in active runs remove the moles doing the damage, typically within days.
Monitoring & follow-up
We re-check and re-set until activity stops, not just until a trap fires.
Long-term strategy
For chronic pressure from bordering woods or fields, we build an ongoing control plan.
Keep Them From Coming Back
- Avoid overwatering — moist soil concentrates earthworms near the surface
- Address heavy grub infestations
- Tamp down and monitor ridges to reveal active runs
- Act early — one mole becomes a network fast

Moles FAQs
Do grub treatments get rid of moles?
Rarely. Moles primarily eat earthworms, which you can't (and shouldn't) eliminate. Killing grubs alone usually just makes moles dig more to find food.
How many moles are in my yard?
Usually fewer than the damage suggests — often just one to three. Their tunnel networks are huge, which makes the problem look bigger than the population.
How fast can you fix it?
Most yards see activity stop within one to three weeks of a professional trapping program, depending on pressure from surrounding land.
