Portland Mole Removal: Meet Mak and Maleah

Your inquiry goes directly to the owners and only Oregon technicians. Mak has caught moles since 2022; Maleah began in spring 2025. The company carries general liability insurance. ODA lists The Mole Busters LLC as Commercial Pesticide Operator AG-L1106767CPO—a pesticide-business credential, not authorization for a particular trapping activity. Our service is poison-free.

What to know about mole removal in Portland

Portland mole removal starts with fresh activity, clear access and an agreed service boundary. Choose MG30 for the current problem or Mole Dominator for recurring episodes. We inspect active runs, return weekly and confirm resolution before removing equipment. Your property history—not a Portland address alone—determines which plan fits.

Mole Dominator is the alternative when new mole problems keep returning. It is not a required follow-on purchase after MG30.

$299 startup plus $98/month, cancel anytime. Or choose $98/month with startup waived under a 12-month agreement; a $299 early-cancellation fee applies.

Paying for the result

The service follows the active problem.

MG30 is built around resolving the covered mole problem, rather than charging for every catch or stopping after a fixed number of visits.

Weekly follow-through

We check activity and adjust equipment weekly. After a catch, seven consecutive days without new mole activity establish resolution before equipment is removed.

The 30-day promise

If the covered active problem takes longer than 30 days, we keep working at no additional service charge until it is resolved.

Seven days of free callback

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

Small Portland lawns and shared service boundaries

A Portland front lawn, sidewalk planting strip and shared courtyard can have different maintenance arrangements. Show us the affected ground and identify who can authorize work. We discuss the affected lawn and practical access for weekly visits before setup. Weekly access must be practical even on a small lot. Tell us whether mounds are new or recurring; a compact yard does not automatically need ongoing service.

Practical homeowner tips

A practical tip for Portland homeowners

For a Portland hillside yard, we assess the affected maintained ground and discuss practical access for service. The city’s Tryon–Stephens headwaters planning identifies slope and infiltration constraints within that study area, not throughout Portland. Leave roots and slopes intact rather than opening suspected runs. Explain access limits before the visit. Unstable ground, washouts or moving walls require separate assessment; mole removal does not repair them.

Local details that matter

Mole activity beside Portland rain gardens and swales

Portland’s private stormwater-maintenance guidance covers rain gardens, basins, planters and swales. We assess the affected maintained lawn and discuss nearby drainage features before equipment placement. Confirm whether you, another owner or the city maintains that ground before authorizing service. Keep inlets open and retain the planting layout. We agree where mole equipment may be placed; drainage maintenance and repairs remain separate from resolving the active mole problem.

Digging-free trapping with a smaller lawn footprint

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.

Poison-free, non-toxic mole control

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

How service works in Portland

  1. Talk with the owners

    Call Mak or Maleah or use the property form. We confirm the address, affected service area and which offer fits your needs.

  2. Assess and set traps

    We assess current activity and explain equipment placement around the actual use of your lawn, including children, pets and access.

  3. Return weekly

    Our weekly checks follow fresh activity. We check equipment, adjust placement and explain progress as service continues.

  4. Confirm the result

    For MG30, we confirm seven consecutive days without new activity after a catch before equipment removal. Ongoing service follows your selected Mole Dominator agreement.

Questions before you choose

Portland mole control FAQs

Get clear answers about the service, your property and the next step.

Call Mak or Maleah
What if the moles are still active after 30 days?

Under MG30, we continue at no additional service charge until the covered active problem is resolved. Weekly service and the resolution checks are part of that promise.

Do I have to choose ongoing service?

No. MG30 is the primary choice for a current problem, especially without a history of recurring issues. Mole Dominator is the separate ongoing alternative when mole problems keep returning.

Is your mole control poison-free?

Yes. Our poison-free, non-toxic approach avoids toxic baits. We explain placement and precautions for your household; children and pets should stay away from installed equipment.

Can you assess a courtyard or a narrow side lawn?

Yes. Confirm access and permission over shared or separately maintained ground.

Should I open a hillside tunnel before you visit?

No. We discuss the affected lawn and practical access for weekly visits before setup.

Is a green street or rain garden included automatically?

No. Ownership and the service boundary must be agreed first.
