can get rid of problem Moles...
| Moles are animals that live in a subterraneous environment. (That's a fancy way of saying they live underground!) Because they have subterranean habits, their eyes have become practically unnecessary to them. One of their most recognized features is that, on first glance, one may believe them to not have eyes at all! However, they do have eyes, albeit very small eyes that |

are often covered with fur. Other physical characteristics of the mole include a very
small tail and fur that is omni-directional, like velvet. This is useful because it does
not constrict them from moving either forward or backward in their tunnels. Moles
do not hibernate - they are active 365 days a years. Although they are active all
year, it's only when their food supply is near the surface of the ground that we see
their tunnels below. Moles go for protein, making meals out of just about any type
of bug, worm, or insect. (There is a misnomer that moles eat the roots of plants,
but that is simply not true. They DO, however, sometimes uproot plants with their
tunnels, and for this they are often considered pests.)
When it comes to controlling moles, All Wildlife Removal Service does it the the
old-fashioned way... through trapping. There is poison bait that can be used but our
experience has taught us that it's limited and therefore, the only time we use poison
bait is if, for example, your moles are tunneling under brick pavers and there is no
other way to reach them. At All Wildlife Removal Service we've found that it's
very difficult to get results with poison because moles sense the presence of
something foreign in their tunnel and it often takes a long time for them to access the
bait. Remember, moles do not normally eat inanimate objects.
The All Wildlife Removal Service mole-trapping program is commonly a three- to
four-week long program, during which time we get control of the property. Once
there are no new tunnels and we see no activity in the yard, we will consider the
pest animals trapped and the area controlled. You will see the damage begin to
recede along the middle of your property first. As control continues, you'll see more
and more damage go away towards the fringe of your property.
Unfortunately, once we gain control, there is no guarantee that new moles won't
move in and take over. Or how quickly that may happen. In some cases, there will
be no reinfestation that year. And in some cases, there may be reinfestation within
just a few weeks. If there are minimal amounts of new moles, we will remove them
for a fee. If it looks like reinfestation will continue through migration from other
areas, the only way to keep control is through a maintenance program.
The general rule of thumb when dealing with moles is if your property backs up to
woods or your neighbors have moles, you can anticipate an influx from outside
properties and you should anticipate that you will need a maintenance program. If
your property does not have surrounding mole areas, it is possible that a simple
trapping program will be effective in getting and keeping control of the problem
moles. The unfortunate truth is that, when it comes to mole control, nothing is
definite.
For example, here at All Wildlife Removal Service, we've had situations where
there was no evidence of any other mole activity outside the perimeter of the
property. Yet after we controlled and removed the first moles, others still moved in.
We've performed other jobs where the property backed up to woods - and yet there
was never a reinfestation. Then there was the mole removal job were the
homeowner's had neighbors on all surrounding sides with mole infestations of their
own... but (you guessed it) the property where we ran a trapping program never had
a reinfestation!
Mole behavior is, as you can see, very difficult to predict. Most pest control and
wildlife removal companies do not handle "mole work" at all. Those companies that
do will often not offer any guarantee that they'll catch even a few moles.
As for the "how's and why's" of a mole trapping program, there is some information
that many homeowners who are in need of this type of service find useful. For
example, mole ttraps are difficult to use because they are run half in the ground, half
out. Heavy rains can cause the earth to solidify around traps, making them
inoperable. When you get colder weather and the ground is freezing and thawing,
this can cause traps to trigger on their own. Generally, All Wildlife Removal Service
shies away from doing any kind of mole work during the colder months of the year.
For the sake of the homeowner, we prefer not to trap moles during autumn as well.
In the past we've gotten control of a mole situation during the fall months - and then
an influx of new moles arrives during the winter. We believe these homeowners are
wasting their money. After all, they wouldn't have had new mole activity during the
winter if we hadn't removed the first ones during the fall.
During a trapping program, we tend to run mole work once a week. Geographically,
All Wildlife Removal Service concentrates in two sections of New Jersey -
Princeton and Monmouth County - and we often run "specials" in those areas.
The only warranty we can provide for moles is a maintenance contract. In a
maintenance program, All Widlife Removal Service will get control and keep
control. We run as many traps as possible when the program begins in order to gain
control as quickly as possible. During a maintenance program, we run traps every
two to three weeks and/or whenever the homeowner calls for action.
For a regular (non-maintenance contract) three- to four-week program on an
average-size property in our special areas of Princeton and Monmouth County, you
can expect a mole trapping program to be approximately $850.00. A maintenance
contract for one year would be approximately $1600 - $3000, depending on the size
of your property. Be aware, these prices are only rough general guidelines and
they are not in any way set in stone.
