Moles in Your Lawn?
True moles are uncommon around Calgary, so raised tunnels and mounds are often left by pocket gophers or voles. Getting the animal right comes first.
It may be time to call a professional if you notice:
- Raised ridges or tunnels running through the lawn
- Round or cone-shaped piles of loose soil
- Soft or bumpy ground under the grass
- New tunnels popping up soon after you flatten the old ones
- Damage focused around gardens or landscaped beds
- Grass roots lifted, exposed or disturbed
- Activity along fences, foundations or the yard’s edge
- More lawn damage after watering or a rainy spell
- Activity returning to the same part of the yard
- Digging that keeps going despite store-bought deterrents
Several animals leave similar signs. A professional inspection looks at the tunnels, soil movement and surrounding property to figure out what is really causing the damage and which control measures make sense for your yard.
Why Choose We Clean Pest Control for Mole Control?
Identification-Led Service
We examine tunnels, mounds and the landscape first, so mole damage is not confused with pocket gophers or voles.
Targeted Mole Control
We target active tunnels and freshly disturbed areas instead of treating the whole yard blindly.
Prevention-Focused Advice
We point out which lawn conditions, landscaping features and nearby areas are likely keeping the burrowing going.
Local Calgary Service
We inspect and control burrowing animals at homes, businesses and multi-unit properties across Calgary.
How We Handle Mole Damage
Step 1 – Inspection
Every visit starts with an inspection of the lawn, gardens and other affected outdoor areas.
Your technician checks for:
- Raised tunnels on the surface
- New soil mounds
- Soft or sinking ground
- Freshly disturbed grass and plant roots
- Active versus old tunnel sections
- Burrows along fences and foundations
- Activity around gardens and landscaped beds
- Food, water and shelter that draw animals in
- Signs pointing to gophers, voles or other animals
This tells us whether the damage really matches mole activity, or whether a pocket gopher, vole or another animal is behind the tunnels and soil movement.
Step 2 – Custom Treatment Plan
Next, we build a control plan around:
- The type of tunnel or burrow we found
- How many lawn areas are affected
- The size and layout of your yard
- Where the active tunnels are
- Condition of the soil and landscaping
- Anything you have already tried
- Residential or commercial needs
Before any treatment starts, we explain which areas we will service, what preparation is needed and what results you can realistically expect.
Step 3 – Targeted Treatment
When appropriate, your technician sets suitable control devices or uses another recommended method right in the areas where activity has been confirmed.
The goal is to focus on tunnels that are actually being used, rather than treating every visible ridge or old soil mound in the yard.
Treatment may target areas like:
- New surface tunnels
- Tunnel sections that keep reopening
- Main travel routes across the lawn
- Spots near gardens and landscaping
- Yard edges and fence lines
- Spots where soil keeps getting pushed up
- Any other active areas found during inspection
The right approach depends on which animal is involved, conditions on the property and the treatment rules that apply. Products or devices should never be scattered randomly across the yard before active locations are confirmed.
Step 4 – Prevention & Follow-Up
After service, we give you practical tips to help spot and reduce any future activity.
These can include:
- Watching for any new raised tunnels
- Flattening old ridges to see which reopen
- Repairing the lawn once activity has stopped
- Cutting back on overwatering where it helps
- Dealing with ongoing insect or grub problems
- Keeping an eye on gardens and bed borders
- Checking next-door areas for new tunnels
- Skipping unproven gadgets and home remedies
- Booking a follow-up visit if activity continues
Yards with large or recurring tunnel systems may need follow-up inspections, because burrowing animals often move between neighbouring lawns, green spaces, and the pathways and parks found throughout Calgary.
Residential, Commercial and Multi-Unit Mole Control
Homes & Apartments
Restaurants & Hotels
Restaurants, hotels and businesses get burrowing-animal inspections for lawns, landscaped entrances, patios, outdoor seating, courtyards, gardens and building perimeters.
Multi-Unit Buildings
Burrowing animals can damage the shared lawns and landscaping at apartment buildings and townhome complexes. We assess common areas and recurring tunnel spots.
Calgary Mole Control
Stop Tunnel Damage From Spreading Across Your Lawn
Don’t wait until raised tunnels and soil mounds have spread through more of your lawn, garden or landscaped property.
Inspection and targeted control work best when the tunnels are still fresh and the active travel routes can be easily identified, usually in spring and early fall.

Frequently Asked Questions
What attracts moles to a yard?
Moles hunt underground for earthworms, insects and other food in the soil. Moist, loose soil also makes some lawns and landscaped areas much easier for them to tunnel through.
Having burrowing animals in your yard does not mean the property is dirty or poorly kept.
How do I know whether I need mole pest control?
An inspection is worth booking if raised tunnels, soil mounds or soft spots keep appearing across the lawn.
In Calgary, voles and pocket gophers cause most of this kind of lawn damage, so proper identification should always come before any treatment is recommended.
Are moles rodents?
No. Moles are small burrowing mammals, but they are not rodents at all.
Because the damage looks so similar, people often mix up moles with rodents like pocket gophers and voles. Our inspection considers moles, rodents and other burrowing animals before we recommend a control plan.
Do moles damage lawns and gardens?
Yes. Mole tunnels lift the turf, disturb plant roots and leave soft or uneven spots, along with visible ridges and piles of loose soil.
Moles mostly tunnel while hunting for food rather than eating grass or plants on purpose.
What is the best method of mole control?
It starts with correctly identifying the animal and finding the active tunnels. A professional may flatten old ridges, watch which sections get reopened and focus control on the most heavily used travel routes.
Treating inactive tunnels at random usually gives poor results.
Do you provide mole extermination?
Yes. Where activity is confirmed, we recommend a control method based on your property, where the active tunnels are and the rules that apply.
It should always start with an inspection, since many visible ridges are old feeding tunnels rather than active routes.
Why are new tunnels appearing after treatment?
Some tunnels stay visible even after activity has stopped. Fresh soil movement can also mean an untreated tunnel is still active or that a different animal has moved onto the property.
Your technician can reassess the affected areas and decide whether a follow-up treatment makes sense.
