PROFESSIONAL MOLE CONTROL SERVICES IN NORTH GEORGIA
Raised ridges across your lawn? Soft, spongy soil underfoot? Those are signs of active mole tunneling. Moles travel just beneath the surface while feeding on earthworms and grubs, creating visible turf damage that can spread quickly if left untreated.
At Southern Wildlife Management, our mole control service is all-inclusive and professionally managed based on the active conditions at your property. We service from Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Cummming all the way up to Dawsonville. The Mole in the picture just was pulled out of a lawn in Alpharetta today.
Why Mole Damage Expands Quickly>
Moles do not eat grass, but their tunneling:
• Separates turf roots from soil
• Creates unstable walking surfaces
• Damages ornamental beds
• Expands daily as new tunnels are formed
DIY repellents and sonic devices rarely stop established tunnel systems. Once activity is visible, professional control is typically required.
Our mole control service may include:
• Mole Trapping – Strategic placement in active primary tunnels
• Mole Baiting – Used when soil conditions and activity patterns make it appropriate
• Tunnel Gassing – Using carbon monoxide delivered through specialized mole burrow equipment
Our tunnel gassing system uses carbon monoxide generated from controlled exhaust equipment designed specifically for underground burrows. This is not gasoline, and no liquid fuel is poured into the ground. The gas is injected directly into active tunnels, where it displaces oxygen and acts quickly within the confined underground system. When applied properly, it does not harm grass or root systems because it remains within the tunnel airspace and dissipates once exposed to open air.
That said, tunnel gassing is the method we use the least. Unlike trapping, which provides physical confirmation of success, gassing does not provide visible feedback or confirmation of mortality. For that reason, trapping is often preferred when conditions allow. The technician evaluates active runs, soil conditions, and tunnel patterns, then discusses the most appropriate method—or combination of methods—with the homeowner.
Correct identification of primary tunnels is critical. Random placement or guessing typically leads to poor results.
When to Schedule Mole Service >
If fresh ridges appear daily or tunneling continues to spread across your yard, professional intervention is recommended. Mole activity in North Georgia lawns can escalate quickly, especially in irrigated or well-maintained turf.
