Maury County — Mole Trapping
Professional mole trapping & removal for Culleoka homeowners, delivered by Middle Tennessee's only UT Certified lawn treatment specialists.
Here in Culleoka, your wide, sun-soaked yard should be a point of pride, not frustration. But those same open acres, bordering farmland and pastures, make your property a prime target for moles. Those erratic lines of raised earth along your driveway and fence lines aren't just an eyesore; they're a sign of a deeper issue.
In Culleoka, with its large lots and rural surroundings, moles often move from neighboring hayfields into your turf. What you see are the surface tunnels snaking along your driveway or the dirt mounds heaped up around a mature tree in your yard. But here's the truth most don't know: those moles are there because of a stressed tree, likely one that's been growing here for decades. When a tree loses a major limb or was planted too deep years ago, it sends a biological signal that triggers a cascade. Its roots soften, attracting a feast of white grubs, and the moles follow the food right into your lawn.
If you simply trap the current mole, you haven't solved anything for a property like yours off Bear Creek Pike or Old Highway 99. Moles are fiercely territorial. Once you remove one, a neighbor mole will soon discover the vacant, pre-dug tunnel network. It moves right in without a fight, and your problem starts over in weeks. That's why quick-fix solutions like sonic spikes or castor oil sprays fail here; they don't address the territory takeover or the root cause.
My approach is designed for long-term results on larger properties. First, I use completely buried, in-tunnel traps placed with scent discipline along active runs, especially those hard against your sidewalks or foundation. Second, we implement a grub control plan to remove the food incentive for new moles. Third, and this is critical, I place a specific poison bait in the tunnel system. This bait isn't mainly for the mole we just caught; it's for the next one that will inevitably come sniffing around the now-empty territory, breaking the cycle of re-infestation.
The ultimate solution isn't just trapping. It's fixing the stressed tree or plant that started the grub-mole cascade. Over the course of a year or two, as the tree recovers and its roots toughen up, the grub population naturally declines. The moles then lose their reason to be in your yard. My goal is to give you a mole-free lawn for good, not just a temporary catch. For a historic community built on "sweet water," your soil should nurture your lawn, not host a mole highway.
Middle Tennessee's moist, loamy-clay soils are rich in earthworms and grubs — the primary food sources for moles. The region's abundant rainfall keeps soil moist and soft, making tunneling easy and productive for moles. Properties near wooded areas, creek banks, or with irrigated lawns are particularly attractive to moles. Grub control can reduce mole food sources, but trapping is necessary to remove moles already established on your property.

No, not in any control-type way. Moles eat a massive amount of earthworms, which are beneficial and you can't eliminate. Even with zero grubs, earthworms are enough food. Trapping the existing moles is the necessary first step.
Yes, almost guaranteed. In Culleoka's heavy clay, tunnels along hardscapes like driveways or sidewalks are their main highways. When a mole hits that concrete edge, it has no choice but to tunnel alongside it, making that run its most active route and the perfect place for a trap.
It can be a matter of weeks. Moles constantly patrol their territory borders. Once a neighbor mole finds the empty tunnel network on your property, it moves right in. This is why my protocol includes a deterrent step specifically for that next invading mole.
Yes, frequently. Voles often share the same tunnel networks as moles. They are much rarer here than moles, but if they're present in your yard, the in-tunnel traps will catch them as well.
