Mole Control in Lake Country, Georgia
Licensed Wildlife Removal for Residential, Commercial & Industrial Properties Since 2010
CatchPro Wildlife Removal has been removing moles and other nuisance wildlife from Lake Country properties since 2010. We’re locally owned, family-operated, and fully licensed and insured under Georgia DNR regulations. If you’re seeing raised ridges cutting across your lawn or volcano-shaped mounds pushing up through your turf, you’re looking at active mole damage, and it can spread faster than most property owners expect.
Mole tunnel systems work mostly out of sight. By the time the surface damage is visible, the network beneath it is often already extensive. Professional removal addresses the animal directly rather than chasing symptoms around the yard.

Identifying Mole Activity on Your Property
Not all lawn mounds are the same, and the control approach depends on getting the identification right. Mole mounds are symmetrical and volcano-shaped, pushed up from a central hole. Gopher mounds, by contrast, are crescent-shaped with an offset plugged entry point off to one side. The distinction matters because mole and gopher removal methods aren’t interchangeable.
Active mole signs to look for:
- Raised soil ridges running across the lawn in irregular paths, indicating shallow surface feeding tunnels
- Volcano-shaped mounds over deeper nesting and travel chambers
- Soft or spongy ground underfoot where tunnels have been excavated just below the surface
- Wilting or dying plants with otherwise healthy-looking soil around them, caused by root disruption from tunneling beneath
The eastern mole is the species you’re dealing with throughout Georgia’s Lake Country. These animals maintain two tunnel systems: shallow feeding runs near the surface and deeper permanent tunnels used for nesting and travel, reaching roughly 6 to 23 inches below grade. They’re insectivores, not rodents, feeding on earthworms, grubs, and soil invertebrates. Their tunneling damages plant roots indirectly even though they’re not eating them.
Why Store-Bought Solutions Fall Short
Sonic spikes, repellent granules, and home remedies consistently underperform on mole problems. None of them address the animal in its tunnel system, which is where moles spend nearly all of their time. A mole can tunnel at roughly 12 to 15 feet per hour in soft soil, so an untreated problem doesn’t stay contained for long.
Trapping placed in active runs is a method used for mole removal. Getting it right requires identifying which tunnels are currently in use, which have been abandoned, and where in the run system a trap will actually intercept the animal. Our team handles placement, monitoring, and removal in full compliance with Georgia DNR requirements for nuisance wildlife, and we select the tools we use with attention to the safety of children and pets throughout the process.
Our Mole Control Process in Lake Country
We use an integrated pest management (IPM) approach, meaning the plan is built around your specific property rather than a one-size treatment applied to every job. IPM for mole control means evaluating what’s attracting moles to your property in the first place, not just removing the ones already there.
Here’s what our process covers:
- Inspection to distinguish active tunnels from abandoned ones and map the extent of activity
- Strategic trap placement in confirmed active runs, which is a key step in the removal process
- Monitoring and removal handled by our team, with follow-up to account for any mole pressure from adjacent fields or wooded areas
- Property evaluation after removal to identify conditions that contributed to the problem
- Exclusion measures where applicable to reduce the likelihood that moles re-establish in the same areas
We serve residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout Georgia’s Lake Country. Free estimates are available before any commitment, and same-day service is available when our schedule allows.
