How To Get Rid Of Moles In Your Yard


If you've noticed raised tunnels and mounds of soil in your yard, you may have a yard mole problem. While moles themselves are harmless to humans, their tunneling can cause damage to your lawn, garden, and landscaping. Here are some professional steps you can take to get rid of nuisance yard moles:

Yard Mole Damage

Identify the mole's activity: Look for raised tunnels, mounds of soil, and ridges in your yard. This will help you determine where to set your traps.



Choose the right trap: There are several types of traps available, including harpoon traps, scissor traps, and live cage traps. Choose a trap that is appropriate for your yard's terrain and the type of yard mole removal. Set correctly, scissor traps will usually work the best.


Set the trap: Follow the manufacturer's instructions or watch our Mole trapping tutorial for more info on setting yard mole removal traps. Make sure the trap is placed in an active tunnel and is secure so that it does not move around. Check the traps at least once a day to see if you have caught a mole. Try and move the traps to fresh mole activity after a week of not trapping any nuisance yard moles.


Modify your yard: Moles prefer to live in damp soil, so improving drainage in your yard can help make it less attractive to them. You can also remove their food source by eliminating grubs and other insects from your lawn. New yard moles will still come onto your property searching for food. Poisonous grub killer might remove the food source, but many times the toxic chemicals will kill incests in your yard and not actually repel the nuisance yard Moles. Trapping is always the most humane and effective way to get rid of moles in your yard.


Seek professional help: If you're having trouble getting rid of yard moles on your own, it's best to seek help from a professional yard mole removal company. Bear's Wildlife Services has years of experience and many tools to get rid of yard moles quickly and effectively.





Remember that moles are a natural part of the ecosystem and can actually be beneficial for soil health. If you do need to get rid of them, do so in a humane and responsible way.

How to get rid of Bats in 5 steps


If you have a bat infestation in your

home, it is important to have the bat colony in your attic removed as soon as possible to prevent any health risks and damage to your property.


Here is a general overview of

our humane bat removal process:


1. ​Inspection: A professional bat removal expert will conduct a thorough inspection of your property to determine the extent of the bat colony and locate the entry and exit points used by the bats. Attics and basements need inspected for bat activity.


2. Exclusion: The entry and exit points used by the bats will be sealed off to prevent any bats from entering your property. We will use exclusion devices, such as

one-way doors that allow the bats to exit your home but not re-enter.


3. Repairs: Bat removal experts will make any necessary repairs to your property to prevent bats in the attic from re-entering your home. This may include repairing damaged vents, screens, and roofing material. Bat size gaps on the structure 3/4 of an inch or bigger must be sealed to prevent bats from roosting.


4. Removal: The exclusion devices will be removed and entry points sealed off once the bats have left your home. Bats will try and re-enter the structure.

You must keep windows and doors closed in your home during

the weeks or months of the Bat exclusion process.


5. Cleanup: Bat droppings (guano)

and urine can cause many health risks.

Our professional Bat removal experts will clean up, disinfect, and deodorize

any affected areas thoroughly.



Prevention: To prevent future bat infestations, our experts will recommend prevention measures, such as seasonal inspections, sealing off other potential

entry points, and installing handmade Bat houses to provide humane

bat removal and alternative roosting for bats in the attic.
