“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.

Your guide to getting rid of moles in Lake Oswego

Show us the affected lawn in relation to terraces, planted slopes and drainage features. We plan targeted service with access and the existing landscape in mind. 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

Keep the lawn problem separate from a slope problem

Lake Oswego’s stormwater analysis describes extensive sloping land and limits on infiltration where slope stability is a concern. That citywide planning information is not a soil report for your garden. If fresh mounds appear on a terraced property, tell us which level is affected and whether access involves narrow steps or a retaining wall.

A moving wall, a persistent washout or a newly sunken area should not simply be labeled a mole tunnel. We assess mole activity and explain equipment placement; we do not stabilize slopes or repair drainage. Leave the terrace and planted roots intact while documenting the new activity from a safe location.

Practical homeowner tips

A wooded creek edge may still be privately managed

The city’s retrofit analysis notes that many riparian corridors outside Tryon Creek State Natural Area and Springbrook Park are privately owned. Ownership and permission therefore matter even when land looks like continuous open space. Show where the maintained lawn ends and identify any easement or landscape plan you already know applies.

We will agree on the serviceable area instead of treating a wooded channel as ordinary lawn. For a contractor maintaining the grounds, tell us the mowing and planting schedule before weekly checks begin. Clear communication is particularly useful where several tiers or separate planting areas make it easy to overlook equipment.

Local details that matter

Use the property’s drainage layout, not the nearest lake name

Lake Oswego’s natural-area information follows Springbrook Creek through the park and Lake Grove toward Iron Mountain and Oswego Lake. The city’s stormwater resources also distinguish other receiving waters. A property in the city should not be assumed to drain directly to the lake just because of its address.

An existing stormwater map or marked landscape plan can help locate the affected lawn relative to a basin, outfall or stream edge. For your first inquiry, simply describe what is visible and where water collects. We then discuss a current-problem MG30 scope or ongoing Mole Dominator service based on documented recurrence, without changing how the property handles water.

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.

Lake Oswego 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 work on a lawn reached by steps?

Describe the steps, gate width and affected terrace before the visit. We need safe, practical weekly access and an agreed service area; a steep address alone does not tell us the usable layout.

Will mole service fix soil washing off a slope?

No. We resolve active mole problems. Erosion, structural movement and drainage design can need separate assessment, so tell us about those symptoms rather than assuming one cause.

Should I send my landscape or drainage plan?

Yes, if you have one. Mark the fresh activity and the maintained lawn. It can clarify private corridors and several separate ground levels without you disturbing the landscape.
