“Mak completely eliminated my mole problem. Consistently professional and kind, he has made the process so easy and noninvasive. I’m so grateful to get my yard back from the pesky moles. Thank you Mole Busters!”

— Cyndi Dahl

“Mole Busters was our answer to our mole problem in our newly installed lawn sod. Mak was very conscientious, came weekly, over a period of about two months, until there was no more mole activity. Great communicator, letting us know when he was coming each week and reporting back what he found. Recommend this service highly for dependable and dogged mole service!”

— Deborah Letourneau

Two legitimate residential choices

Resolve today's problem or plan for recurring activity

Moles Gone in 30 Days is the primary choice for an active problem, especially without a history of recurring episodes. Mole Dominator is the alternative when new mole problems keep returning. A subscription is not required after MG30.

Moles Gone in 30 Days Guaranteed

$499 flat rate

For qualifying residential service areas up to one acre. Larger properties receive a custom quote. Includes setup, weekly service and adjustments to resolve the covered active mole problem.

After equipment removal, you have seven days of free callback coverage. A 90-day discounted return-service period follows completion. New moles can enter later; this is not a promise of permanent exclusion.

Full guarantee, callback and return-service terms

Mole Dominator — Ongoing Mole Control

$98 /month

For ongoing or recurring mole problems. Choose $299 startup plus $98/month, cancel anytime, or $98/month with startup waived under a 12-month agreement.

Early cancellation under the 12-month agreement carries a $299 fee. We explain both options and confirm the service scope before you decide.

How our poison-free mole trapping service works

  1. Tell us about the activity. Contact Mak and Maleah with your address, fresh-activity photos and property history.
  2. Locate active tunnels. We examine the property and identify the runs the moles are using.
  3. Install targeted mole traps. We place equipment in the agreed service area with precautions suited to the property.
  4. Return weekly. We inspect the property, check traps and adjust placements as activity changes.
  5. Confirm the result. Following a catch, we monitor for seven consecutive days without new mole activity before removing equipment.
  6. Follow through under the guarantee. If the covered active problem takes longer than 30 days, we continue at no additional service charge until it is resolved, subject to the service terms.

Tell us about pets, children, irrigation, locked gates and other access restrictions before setup so equipment can be placed with appropriate precautions. Leave installed equipment undisturbed and keep children and pets away from it.

Understand your local property

A river view and a riverbank are different working areas

Elk Rock Garden sits above the Willamette on Dunthorpe's river cliffs. That local setting is a reminder that a river-facing lawn can be well above the shore. A service inquiry should identify the maintained grass where the damage appears, rather than use the waterfront as the assumed entrance.

Show steps or terraces from an existing garden path. If a lower lawn is also affected, explain how you normally reach it. We can discuss each working area without asking you to clear bank vegetation or climb down for a photograph.

Practical homeowner tips

Keep the lawn assessment specific within an established garden

Elk Rock's landscape combines open lawns beside the house with wooded walks and native and introduced planting. A garden can look natural while still being carefully maintained. If yours has separate lawns and planted collections, indicate which area has fresh ridges or mounds.

Identify irrigation, bulbs and recent planting where they meet the grass. Coordinate with your gardener if maintenance or lawn repairs are already scheduled. The aim is to resolve the active lawn problem with a defined working area, without treating every planted corner as another lawn to service.

Local details that matter

Describe surface water separately from the sanitary sewer

The Dunthorpe-Riverdale Sewer District serves southwest Multnomah County and a small part of Clackamas County. It explicitly does not provide combined sanitary and stormwater service. Being in that district therefore does not tell us where a garden's rainwater goes, or who maintains a particular surface drain.

For the mole inquiry, identify known covers, drains and recently excavated utility routes near the fresh signs. Keep a wet patch distinct from new animal excavation when describing the problem. Do not open covers or change a drainage connection to investigate it. If a utility repair is already arranged, tell us so the work and weekly checks can be coordinated. Start with MG30 for a current problem; discuss Mole Dominator if your property's own history shows repeated activity rather than assuming a river or woodland address requires ongoing service.

Residential lawns and managed grounds

Gopher control is a free add-on to any Oregon mole service. Tell us about plant damage as well as mounds so we can discuss the right problem. For HOA grounds, rental communities, schools or business landscapes, commercial mole control is scoped separately. We confirm the exact address and maintained area before recommending service.

Dunthorpe property questions

What happens after I send the property form?

Your inquiry goes to Mak and Maleah. We discuss the address, current activity, property size and access, confirm availability and explain the service scope and terms before you decide.

What if the active problem takes longer than 30 days?

Under MG30, we continue at no additional service charge until it is resolved. After a catch, seven consecutive days without new activity confirm resolution before equipment removal. Seven days of free callback coverage follow removal, with a 90-day discounted return-service period afterward.

Do I have to choose an ongoing agreement?

No. MG30 addresses the current active problem. Mole Dominator is a separate choice for ongoing or recurring problems. Review its startup and agreement options before choosing; it is not a required follow-on purchase.

Do you need access from the river?

Identify the private garden entrance and lawn levels you normally use. A river-facing address does not imply access from the shore.

Should I clear planted beds to prepare for mole service?

No. Show fresh activity and point out existing planting and irrigation so the working area can be discussed.

Does my sewer district also identify the garden's storm drain?

Not necessarily. Dunthorpe-Riverdale provides sanitary sewer service, not a combined stormwater system. Share the drainage information you already know without opening covers or altering connections.
