Eastern Mole (Scalopus aquaticus)
Common Access Areas
- Lawns and turf
- Garden and Mulch Beds
- Pools
- Livestock areas
Health Risks
Though they pose little physical threats to you, your family, or your pets directly, the tunnels and mounds they create on your property are not only visually concerning, but they could cause trip and fall injuries, or a pet could get their leg/paw twisted caught up in a run or mound and require medical attention.
Damage Risks
- Unsightly mounds and tunneling
- Dead grasses in tunnel areas
- Damage to paver and block patios and sidewalks
Mole Control
A common misconception is that treating your lawn for grubs will control the moles. The only truly effective control method is physical trapping and removal. Huntsman Wildlife can perform Mole Control on Cincinnati properties for as low as $385 for properties under half an acre.
