Professional Mole Control In Missouri
Moles may look like rats and mice, but they aren’t rodents. They belong to a different family called Talpidae, along with shrew-moles and desmans. Moles, like the other Talpids, are insectivores – they feed on insects. Moles are also subterranean, meaning they thrive underground. Moles have adapted to their subterranean environment, their legs and paws are meant for digging, and they can breathe even when oxygen levels are very low.
Moles may not damage your home, but they burrow through lawns and create mounds of soil called mole hills. Moles make tunnels underground, passing through some of your plants’ roots, which adds to the factor of plant death in mole infested lots. Moles can also contribute to the destruction of your water and drainage system. Lots that are infested with moles are also prone to weed growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Moles are not aggressive and rarely come into direct contact with people or pets. The main issue is the damage they cause to lawns, gardens, and landscaping.
Moles leave raised surface tunnels and cone shaped mounds of soil. These tunnels often appear suddenly and can spread quickly across a yard. Other animals, like voles, cause different types of damage.
DIY methods like repellents and home remedies often provide little to no long term results. Effective mole control requires proper identification, strategic placement of control methods, and ongoing monitoring.
Chilton’s uses proven, professional methods tailored to mole behavior and activity patterns. Our approach focuses on reducing active tunnels and discouraging continued activity in your yard.
Moles can return if conditions remain favorable. Ongoing monitoring and preventative services help reduce the likelihood of future activity.
Reducing excess moisture, managing grub populations, and maintaining healthy turf can help. Chilton’s can also provide recommendations specific to your property.
