“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
“Professional service. Excellent communication of the process and timely delivery. Bottom line, got the job done.”
— Gary Rebello
In Tigard, the affected ground may be a lawn, a pebble-covered planting bed or the maintained edge of a creek-side property. Our supplied Tigard photograph shows why a lawn-only description can miss part of the damage. Show Mak and Maleah where fresh soil is appearing across those surfaces. MG30 is the primary option for resolving this active problem; Mole Dominator is an alternative for a history of separate recurring episodes. You can start with a call or the property form on this page.

Paying for the result
MG30 is built around resolving the covered mole problem, rather than charging for every catch or stopping after a fixed number of visits.
We check activity and adjust equipment weekly. After a catch, seven consecutive days without new mole activity establish resolution before equipment is removed.
If the covered active problem takes longer than 30 days, we keep working at no additional service charge until it is resolved.
MG30 includes seven days of free callback coverage after equipment removal. A 90-day discounted return-service period follows completion. New moles can enter later; this is not permanent exclusion.
Read the complete MG30 terms. Mole Dominator continues under its own chosen agreement.
Understand your local property
A mole mound does not have to sit in the middle of an open lawn. The Tigard photograph on this page shows soil pushed into pebbles beside landscaping, where tidying the surface can make the activity less obvious without explaining what is happening underneath. When your yard includes grass, bark and decorative stone, look at the relationship between those areas. We assess the current mole activity during service and explain the next step.
Practical homeowner tips
For a Tigard yard with pebbled beds, we assess the affected maintained ground and discuss practical access for service. Note whether the next mound appears in the same bed or farther into the turf, and keep the date with the picture. If you are also replacing bark, edging or sod, tell us which work is planned so equipment can remain undisturbed during weekly checks. Along a Fanno Creek boundary, we assess the affected maintained ground and discuss practical access for service. You do not need to dig into a bank to start a service inquiry.
Local details that matter
The city's Fanno Creek Park runs through the downtown area toward Hall Boulevard and the public library, with grassy and wooded wetlands in its floodplain. That is useful context for a nearby lawn; it is not a description of every Tigard property. A home approached by steps or a sloping side yard needs different access information from a level lawn near that corridor. Tell us which maintained areas have current activity and how we can reach them. Those details let us define a practical service area, while your history of repeat mole episodes determines whether current-problem service or ongoing control is the better fit.
Tigard’s Fanno Creek corridor includes floodplain wetlands, while our local field photograph shows mole damage in a maintained pebble bed. Those are different settings, not proof that every yard has wet soil. The useful question is where fresh activity meets your lawn, planting beds and drainage features. We use your observations to discuss the affected service area rather than recommend a treatment from a city name alone.
University of California IPM identifies trapping as the most dependable control method. Placement matters: a mound marks displaced soil, while the useful service location depends on a tunnel the mole actually uses. Our poison-free Oregon service combines equipment placement with weekly checks and adjustments. If activity shifts from turf into a stone border, we assess the affected maintained ground and discuss practical access for service.
Hiring a mole exterminator in Tigard should mean understanding what happens after setup. With MG30, you buy resolution of the active problem under the terms above, rather than a bill for each catch. Tell Mak and Maleah where new mounds appear between visits, and leave service equipment undisturbed. A quiet patch alone does not establish that the whole affected area is resolved.
Moles feed on earthworms and other soil-dwelling invertebrates, not just grubs. University of Maryland Extension explains that grub-control products will not eliminate a mole problem. Treat lawn insects for an identified lawn-care need, rather than assume a greener or recently treated lawn cannot have moles. Likewise, brushing soil out of Tigard’s decorative stone or smoothing a ridge changes the appearance; it does not show whether underground activity has stopped.
Rainfall and watering can make shallow activity more noticeable, according to UC IPM. We assess the affected maintained lawn and discuss nearby drainage features before equipment placement. Flooding tunnels is an unreliable control method and wastes water. Near a Fanno Creek drainage edge, keep the inquiry focused on your maintained property rather than channeling water into a bank or disturbing a drainage feature.
Physical exclusion can protect a limited planting area, but installing underground barriers is a construction decision and does not remove a mole already elsewhere in the lawn. Discuss a new raised bed or landscaping project with the person responsible for that work before excavation. Share irrigation and access information with us so the mole-service area and the landscaping project can be considered together.
After the current problem is resolved, your own history guides the next choice. Separate episodes over time may make ongoing service worth discussing; living near Fanno Creek by itself does not require a subscription. Compare MG30 with Mole Dominator, or read our grubs and moles guide. Call Mak or Maleah when you want help choosing.

Our Oregon trapping system needs a placement hole only about 1.5 inches across. It is digging-free: we do not need to cut open a large patch of your lawn to place the trap, helping minimize disturbance to your yard.
Compared with larger setups that use a roughly 6-inch-long turf cut and bucket-style covers, our smaller-diameter traps are less obtrusive and easier to mow around. They still project above ground, so mow around installed equipment and leave it undisturbed.
Our poison-free, non-toxic approach avoids toxic baits in yards used by children and pets. This pet- and child-friendly service combines careful equipment placement with weekly follow-up. We explain the setup for your household; keep children and pets away from installed equipment.
A straightforward process
Call Mak or Maleah or use the property form. We confirm the address, affected service area and which offer fits your needs.
We assess current activity and explain equipment placement around the actual use of your lawn, including children, pets and access.
Our weekly checks follow fresh activity. We check equipment, adjust placement and explain progress as service continues.
For MG30, we confirm seven consecutive days without new activity after a catch before equipment removal. Ongoing service follows your selected Mole Dominator agreement.
