Protect your lawn and landscape from damage with our professional mole removal services.
Moles, specifically the Eastern Mole species found in Central Texas, spend almost their entire lives underground. Because of this, they are rarely seen, and most infestations are identified by the surface tunnels and mounds of soil they create while burrowing.
If you have noticed this type of property damage at your home or business, GGA offers professional mole pest control. Our technicians will inspect your property to identify active tunnels and travel routes, use humane trapping techniques, and provide recommendations to help reduce future mole activity.
Moles pose very little direct threat to people or pets. They are shy, reclusive animals that rarely bite or scratch unless they are handled or cornered. They are unlikely to carry rabies because they have little to no contact with known carriers such as foxes, bats, raccoons, or skunks.
However, their presence can still cause property damage and other pest-related issues. These include:
Raised tunnels and molehills are an aesthetic concern for many property owners. Mole digging can cause soil to be soft and uneven, which makes yard maintenance more difficult and creates potential tripping hazards.
Mole tunneling can disturb or expose plant root systems. When roots are separated from the surrounding soil, plants may struggle to absorb enough water and nutrients, causing grass, flowers, shrubs, and other plants to weaken or die.
Moles can carry fleas and ticks. Ticks that transfer from moles to people or pets may spread Lyme disease, while fleas can cause skin irritation and, in rare cases, transmit other pathogens.
A single eastern mole can dig up to 18 feet of tunnel per hour.1 This rapid digging, combined with their tendency to abandon old tunnels and create new ones, makes moles one of the most challenging animals to control.

Nuisance wildlife like moles are not an immediate threat to your safety, but they do cause significant aesthetic and agricultural problems on your property. The longer they stay, the more likely they are to expand their tunnel systems, damage your landscape, and lead to costly repairs.

Moles rarely enter homes, but if you do find one indoors, here's what you should do:
No, moles are not considered to be dangerous or a major threat to people and pets. They rarely bite and are not known to be significant carriers of disease.
However, they are still wild animals, so it's best to avoid handling them and have a professional remove them if you have an infestation.
Safely removing a mole without harming it requires careful planning and trap setting. Here's how you can do it:
The cost of mole removal typically depends on the size of your property, the extent of the infestation, and the number of visits needed to resolve the problem. Scheduling a professional inspection is the best way to receive an accurate estimate.
After the mole problem is resolved, surface tunnels can often be flattened by rolling or tamping the soil. Severely damaged areas may need fresh topsoil and grass seeds. If plants or landscaping have been affected, additional repairs or replanting may be necessary.
