“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.

Ongoing service and full agreement terms

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.

Your guide to getting rid of moles in Durham

Get help with fresh mole damage in your Durham lawn or landscaped grounds. Mak and Maleah will explain a result-based service and keep you informed through weekly follow-up. Moles Gone in 30 Days is the primary choice for resolving a current active problem with weekly follow-up and a result-based guarantee. Mole Dominator is the alternative for ongoing or recurring episodes. The local guidance below helps you describe your own property; Mak and Maleah confirm the affected area and service choice with you before you agree to work.

Understand your local property

A creek-side lawn is part of a wider green setting

Durham City Park follows Fanno Creek, with trails connecting into the Cook Park and Tualatin Park system. A home near that connected landscape may have a clearly mown garden beside much more open or wooded ground. Show the private lawn that is being damaged, including where the grass meets planting or a property boundary.

Fresh-activity photos help Mak or Maleah discuss an agreed service area. Explain whether the problem is confined to one part of the lawn or has appeared in separate garden areas. If you normally reach the lawn through a side gate, include that in the first conversation. Weekly service can then be planned around the garden you actually maintain.

Practical homeowner tips

Keep mature trees and planted beds in the photo

Durham's tree-canopy assessment describes the community's abundant mature trees. In an established garden, lawn, roots and planted beds can sit close together. Include those features in a wider image when reporting fresh mounds, especially if the visible damage runs along a bed rather than across open grass.

Leave the established garden in place while we discuss the mole problem. Tell us about planned tree or landscape work so equipment and weekly checks can be coordinated. Our service focuses on resolving active mole activity; a mole inquiry is not a reason to dismantle a planted bed. A dated photo record also helps explain whether later signs belong to the current episode or a distinct returning problem.

Local details that matter

Small managed grounds deserve the right contact

Durham is largely residential, but the city's history also identifies professional-office, light-industrial and multifamily uses. A compact lawn around an office or a shared apartment garden can therefore be a managed-property request even where the neighboring street feels residential. Tell us how the affected grass is used and who arranges its maintenance.

For common grounds, include the manager who can coordinate access and receive progress updates. For a home garden, explain the maintained residential area and any separate lawns you want included. Mak or Maleah can clarify MG30 eligibility, ongoing service for a recurring problem, or custom commercial scope. Those choices follow the property and its history rather than the size of the town.

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.

Durham 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.

Can you assess a private lawn beside the Fanno Creek greenway?

Show the affected maintained grass and its boundary. We will discuss the proposed service area on your property.

Should I include trees and planted beds in the photos?

Yes. A wider view helps explain fresh activity along the lawn edge and the existing garden layout.

Who should contact you about shared apartment grounds?

The property or grounds manager can identify the affected area, arrange access and receive weekly service updates.
