Sunrise Mole Control Service is an eniromentally friendly solution to yard moles. Our Mole Control Service is a child and pet safe way to eliminate moles and gophers from your yard. This natural treatment works by making the mole's food source taste bitter. Moles don't like bitter worms and grubs, so they leave in search of other food. Best of all, worms and grubs are absolutely unharmed! Like any other yard or garden treatment including fertilizer, herbicides, or insecticides, effective mole control requires periodic re-application. For best results, we recommend monthly treatments, especially when first addressing a mole infested yard. The commercial kill-trapping of moles is prohibited in the State of Washington. Sunrise Mole Control Service is the most effective, and most earth-friendly solution to common yard mole problems in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. |

Yard Moles and Gophers in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest
|
The most popular species of yard mole in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest is the Townsend Mole (Scapanus townsendii). The Townsend Mole differs from other yard moles and gophers, and is characterized by living in tunnels very deep underground. Townsend Moles only come to the surface for food and water, and is why we rarely see raised mole tunnels just under the surface of our lawns and turf.
Mole TreatmentBecause of the Townsend Mole's deep underground habitat, they are more difficult to eliminate. Yard moles that live near the ground's surface are much easier to bait or trap. Watering your lawn thoroughly will help soak the ground, and will draw the repellent material down to the mole's depth.
Treating Moles in Large AreasSunrise has a successful history of eliminating moles from very large lawns, municipal parks, sporting fields, and more. Please call to speak with a technician about our experience in getting rid of moles.
Feeding Habits of MolesThe Townsend Mole feeds primarily on insect larvae and earthworms. Moles are also known to eat slugs, centipedes, roots, and seeds. |
The Townsend Mole has dark, velvety fur, a pointed snout, 44 teeth, and large front paws for digging. Moles ears are
not visible and they have very small eyes.
Mole hills or mole mounds like these are typical throughout the Pacific Northwest, and are characteristic of Townsend Moles.
