Signs You Have Moles

Many property owners aren’t sure whether they have moles or another type of burrowing animal. Getting this right matters, because different pests require different approaches. In Texas, the Eastern mole typically leaves shallow surface tunnels that feel spongy underfoot and create raised, winding ridges across the grass.

Moles feed primarily on earthworms, grubs, beetles, and insect larvae rather than plants, so their presence is driven by soil food sources rather than your garden. Active surface tunnels are used for feeding, while deeper travel tunnels run below the surface and may be less visible. In some cases, you may also see cone-shaped mounds where deeper tunnels reach the surface, especially along borders or near landscaping. Spring and fall, when soils hold more moisture, can coincide with increased mole activity in North Texas yards.

Other animals such as gophers, voles, or rats can cause damage too, but their signs usually look different. Gophers often create larger, fan-shaped soil piles with an obvious plugged hole. Voles tend to leave low runways in the grass rather than deeper tunnels. When our team visits, we look for several indicators to confirm that moles are the real issue.

Look for these common signs of mole activity:

• Raised, winding tunnels or ridges running through your lawn
• Soft, spongy areas where the ground feels like it might sink under your feet
• Small mounds of loose soil that appear overnight, often near edges or beds
• Sections of grass that suddenly thin or yellow along tunnel lines

Our Mole Removal Process

We begin every mole-control plan with an on-site inspection to identify active runs and assess the conditions on your property.

Our technicians walk the lawn, gardens, and landscaped areas to map visible tunnels and mounds. We pay attention to soil type, grading, irrigation lines, and any features that might attract or redirect mole activity. Because active runways are more useful for control decisions than abandoned ones, our inspection focuses on identifying which tunnels show current use.

After we understand where moles are traveling, we discuss our findings with you in clear, everyday language. We explain which tunnels appear most active and what treatment options make sense for your situation. Our technicians use professional-grade tools and control methods designed for moles, and we apply them carefully to reduce risk to pets, children, and non-target wildlife.

During a typical first visit, our team will:

• Listen to your concerns and review where you have seen tunnels or damage
• Inspect the lawn, beds, and perimeter to confirm mole activity
• Identify the most active runs and plan targeted control measures
• Explain recommended treatments and answer questions about safety and timing
• Perform agreed-upon services and outline any follow-up steps

Mole activity can shift as soil moisture, food availability, and seasons change, so some properties may benefit from additional visits or monitoring. We discuss these possibilities up front so you know what to expect.
