Mole Trapping & Removal in Catalina, Nolensville, TN

If you're seeing raised tunnels along your sidewalks or dirt mounds near your trees here in Catalina, you're dealing with a mole. What you're seeing on the surface is just the symptom. The real problem starts with a tree, likely one planted when your home was built. In neighborhoods like ours in Nolensville, especially in these five to eight year old communities, builders often plant trees too deep. That tree becomes stressed, and its biological response creates a buffet of soft roots for white grubs. Those grub populations explode because the stressed tree can't defend itself. That's what the moles in your Catalina yard are really after. They're incredibly soft to the touch, but suspiciously small for the sheer damage their tunneling causes. My job is to stop the current damage and prevent the next mole from moving in. Moles are fiercely territorial. If I simply trap and remove the one in your yard, a mole from your neighbor's lot will find these empty, pre-dug tunnels and take over, sometimes within weeks. That's why I use a three-part protocol: first, I trap the existing mole using completely buried, in-tunnel traps placed in active runs, especially along hardscapes. For safety, they're underground with only a flag marking the spot. Second, I address the grub population to remove the food incentive. Third, I place a poison in the tunnel network. This isn't primarily for the mole I just caught; it's for the next one that will inevitably come to claim this vacant territory. The long-term fix involves helping that stressed tree recover, which over a year or two breaks the cycle. Common DIY methods like castor oil or sonic spikes simply don't work here. In Catalina, with our common irrigation and HOA standards, a professional approach is the only way to get lasting results.
