Mole Removal & Control in Indiana
Eastern moles are subterranean insectivores found throughout Indiana. They rarely appear above ground but their extensive tunnel systems cause significant lawn and garden damage. Moles create two types of tunnels: deep permanent runways used for travel and nesting, and shallow surface tunnels used for foraging. The raised ridges and mounds (molehills) they create can kill grass, make lawns uneven and difficult to mow, and undermine garden roots. A single mole can excavate up to 150 feet of tunnel per day. Licensed operators use trapping — the most effective long-term control method — and can advise on grub treatments that reduce the mole's food source.
Common Mole Issues
- Surface tunnel ridges killing grass and creating uneven lawns
- Molehills of excavated soil throughout yards
- Root damage to garden plants along tunnel routes
- Undermining sidewalks and paver installations
Prevention Tips
- Apply grub control products in spring and late summer to reduce food sources
- Use underground barriers (hardware cloth) around garden beds
- Avoid overwatering lawns — wet soil harbors more earthworms and grubs
- Trapping by a licensed operator is the most reliable long-term solution
