Mole Control in Burlington, VT
Protecting Burlington Lawns from Mole Tunnels & Mounds Since 2005
Raised ridges snaking across your lawn and volcano-shaped mounds of loose soil are the clearest signs that moles have moved in. These small insectivores dig just below the surface hunting for grubs and earthworms, and because they don’t hibernate, the damage can show up in any season. A single mole can cover a surprising amount of ground in a short time.
Since 2005, The Eliminator Pest & Property Service has helped homeowners and businesses across Vermont and Northern New Hampshire address pest and wildlife problems using safe, effective methods. Our service area covers Burlington and the surrounding Chittenden County communities.
Call (802) 423-3029 to schedule a mole inspection or request a free estimate. We serve residential and commercial properties throughout Burlington, VT, and we can assess your lawn and put together a plan that fits your property and budget.

Moles or Voles? How to Tell the Difference
The distinction matters for treatment. Moles leave raised, winding ridges just under the turf and produce the distinctive volcano-shaped mounds of displaced soil. Voles create worn surface runways through grass and gnaw bark at the base of plants, often hidden beneath snow cover. If your damage looks like the former, you’re dealing with a mole problem. Vermont is home to two species: the hairy-tailed mole and the star-nosed mole, both found throughout the state.
Moles dig tunnels roughly five to eight inches below the surface and can consume close to their body weight in worms, grubs, and insects each day. That food drive keeps them active even in winter, when activity shifts slightly deeper into the soil.
How The Eliminator Pest & Property Service Handles Mole Removal
Our approach to mole control follows the same framework we use for all wildlife issues: identify what’s drawing the animal to your property, remove it, and take steps to keep it from coming back. For moles, that starts with a thorough inspection to locate active tunnel runs. Traps set in abandoned tunnels won’t catch anything, so pinpointing current activity is the first critical step.
Trapping is widely considered the most effective mole control method. Moles rarely take poisoned grain bait, and repellents tend to produce inconsistent results. Grub treatments alone also fall short, since earthworms are a mole’s primary food source, not grubs. Spring and fall often bring moles closer to the soil surface, making those seasons productive windows for trapping.
