Mole Control in Northern California

Professional Mole Control for Active Lawn Damage

Gopher Team provides professional mole control throughout Northern California using safe, underground trapping methods to stop mole activity and reduce lawn damage. Our technicians identify active mole tunnels and tailor treatment based on your property and local conditions.

Moles are subterranean predators that feed on insects and grubs, often leaving raised tunnels and volcano-shaped dirt mounds across lawns. While moles do not eat plants, their tunneling can disturb turf, soil structure, and landscaping, making timely control important.

How to Tell If Your Pest Is a Mole

Signs You May Have a Mole Problem

Raised surface tunnels, volcano-shaped mounds, and uneven patches of turf are common signs of active mole activity.

Moles

In Northern California, moles are active year-round and are most often found in Bay area lawns with moist soil and abundant insect activity. They live completely underground and feed on grubs, bugs, and worms. This means they will not go after your plants but they can still disturb your landscape and leave behind unsightly mounds. They are territorial creatures so it is most common for properties to only have one or two.

Because they are native to the area it is difficult to completely prevent moles from coming into your landscape, however, our control methods of trapping have been successful at keeping them at bay.

Mole Control FAQs

Do you offer mole control in my area?

Yes. Gopher Team provides mole control services throughout Northern California, including residential properties in the Bay Area and surrounding counties. Our technicians understand local soil and lawn conditions that affect mole activity.

Do moles damage plants or just lawns?

Moles do not eat plants or roots. However, their underground tunneling can damage turf, disrupt soil, and create unsightly mounds that affect the appearance and stability of your lawn.

Are mole trapping methods safe for pets and people?

Yes. Our traps are placed underground within active mole tunnel systems, keeping them out of reach of people, pets, and surface wildlife.

How long does mole control take?

Every property is different. Some mole problems resolve quickly, while others require ongoing visits to ensure activity has stopped. Our technicians continue service until there is no evidence of new mole tunneling.

“The technicians who came to our home were very friendly, helpful and answered ALL the questions we had about our pesky mole. The company as a whole is responsive and helpful. The mole was caught in the first round of traps! We would certainly use them again (though I hope we don’t need to!)”

Our Mole Trapping Methods

environmentally friendly

Our one time service is a trapping only service which entails us placing our traps within the mole tunnel system underground, this means that our traps do not pose risk to anyone on the surface. Our expert technicians will check the traps within 10 business days of the previous visit and will continue to do so until there is no longer evidence of any new activity. There is no set time limit for this service as every property is unique and we want to ensure that the activity is cleared up before we remove our traps.

We also offer a 30 day guarantee so if any new activity is seen within 30 days after we remove our traps you can let us know and we will come back out and waive our setup fee.
