Ground Mole Control in Boston
Northeast Wildlife Management offers the best ground mole control services in the Boston, MA area. Contrary to popular belief, moles are not actually rodents, instead, they are small mammals that are closely related to shrews and hedgehogs. Moles are about 4-8 inches long and are armed with powerful front legs and long claws on their front paws, which allows them to dig the extensive burrows they are so well known for. Ground moles have tiny eyes and ears that are almost invisible to the human eye, but they have large, prominent noses for seeking out underground grubs, worms, and insects. Moles can create serious damage in your yard with their tunnel systems, but don’t worry, because Northeast Wildlife Management is here to help. Our team offers the best ground mole control services in Boston, MA, and the surrounding New England areas. Contact our team to get started today at 781-562-9659!

How To Get Rid of Moles In Your Yard
Moles are very destructive nuisance critters that can cause serious damage to your lawn, killing the grass as well as any trees, bushes or garden plants. DIY mole treatments are unfortunately not very effective, so the best way to get rid of moles in your yard is to contact the mole control experts at Northeast Wildlife Management. Our team will carefully inspect your property for moles, locating their nesting spots and main tunnels. Then, we will implement a trapping program to remove these nuisance critters from your property. After the moles have been removed, we can start implementing preventative measures to keep them from coming back.
Mole Deterrents
Earthworms, grubs, and insects are the number one thing that moles are searching for as they tunnel throughout your yard. Making sure you aren’t over-watering your grass will keep these worms and grubs from rising to the surface, which attracts moles. Additionally, to keep moles out of gardens, Northeast Wildlife Management can offer wildlife barrier installation services. Wildlife barriers are mesh fencing that we will bury deep into the ground around your garden to prevent moles from digging through your plant’s roots.

Moles are difficult to deal with on your own, so leave mole removal to the experts at Northeast Wildlife Management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Moles are not very social animals and will not interact with other moles, except during mating season and when a mother is raising her young.
Moles rarely come above ground, as they are easy prey for birds and snakes. They will venture out of their tunnels when food is scarce, or when droughts, cave-ins or waterlogged soil makes their burrows uninhabitable.
No, moles do not eat flower bulbs. Moles eat earthworms, grubs, and insects, but do not feed on plants. Plant damage may come from moles underground tunnels, but rarely will that ever damage a flower bulb.
Killing grubs can aid in preventing moles from staying around on your property, but it is not a comprehensive solution, as moles can find other food sources like earthworms. Additionally, the pesticides you will have to use to kill grubs will probably take a bigger toll on your lawn than mole tunnels and molehills will.
