Orlando Mole Control
Moles are very common in Florida. Mostly, it's the Eastern Mole. Moles live under the ground, and the only real nuisance problem they cause is because of their digging. People don't like:
- Surface tunnels or ridges all over the lawn
- Piles and mounds of dirt all over the yard
- Ground feels "squishy" due to tunnels
Many people take great care of their lawns and landscaping, and are dismayed to see tunnels and dirt piles all over the place, and wish to trap and remove moles from the property.

Do You Trap Moles?
The only real way to solve a problem with moles is to trap and remove them. In fact, if your yard is full of tunnels and dirt mounds, it's probably the result of a single mole's activity. Moles have a very high
metabolism, and they are very active - the can really dig! They are also largely territorial. Thus, you've probably only got one mole in your yard, but that one mole can really make a mess of things. To solve the
mole problem, you've got to catch and remove the mole. This is usually accomplished through the use of lethal traps, such as spear traps, scissor traps, or underground clamp traps.
I don't really do mole trapping. I used to, years ago, but I don't like it very much. It's not fun for me, and I'm not that great at it. Thus, I don't provide mole removal services in Orlando Florida.
How Do I Prevent Moles?
I don't think that there's any good prevention method. If your yard has dirt and earthworms, then it's good enough for moles. There's no way to eliminate the food supply, the earthworms. There's all sorts of gimmicks
out there: various mole sprays (often made of castor oil), high-pitch sound machines, and so on. Alas, none of them are effective.
