Mole Trapping & Removal in The Arbors at Leiper's Fork, Leipers Fork, TN

When moles show up in a luxury neighborhood like ours, it’s frustrating. You invest in a pristine property, only to have these small animals create a mess of surface tunnels, especially along concrete edges like your sidewalks, pool deck, and driveway. Here’s what most folks miss: those moles are almost always a sign of a tree health issue. It’s a cascade. A tree on your property, perhaps one planted a bit too deep years ago, becomes stressed. That stress makes its roots soft and attractive to white grubs. A grub population explodes, and moles move in for the buffet. In a gated community like The Arbors at Leiper's Fork, with established irrigation and mature landscaping, this pattern is common. Simply killing grubs won’t solve it; insecticide can’t reach the grubs feeding on those deep tree roots. My job is to untangle this mess for you.

My approach is a three-part protocol specific to Leipers Fork properties. First, I trap the current moles using safe, in-tunnel traps that are completely buried, with only a flag above ground. I target the active runs, always checking those tunnels pressed against your hardscapes. Second, we implement a grub control plan to remove that food incentive for new moles. Third, and this is key for long-term results, I place poison in the vacant tunnel network. Why? Moles are fiercely territorial. When I remove your mole, a neighbor’s mole will find the empty, pre-dug tunnels and move right in. The poison acts as a guard against that quick re-infestation. The real fix, however, is correcting the stressed tree that started it all. Over a year or two, as the tree recovers and roots toughen, the grubs fade and moles lose interest. Forget sonic spikes or castor oil; they don’t work. My method addresses the root cause here in The Arbors at Leiper's Fork, not just the symptom.
