“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.”

Call Mak or MaleahA documented Portland residential project
In a Portland residential backyard, several mole mounds were concentrated in a small area. The homeowner wanted the active problem resolved, without committing to a subscription that the property did not appear to need. We started by identifying the active runs and installing four traps.
New activity appeared after the first visit. Rather than leaving the original setup unchanged, we repositioned the traps to follow the activity. On the third visit, one mole was caught. That catch was a milestone, but it was not the end of our checks.
We continued monitoring the yard. Seven days passed without observed new mole activity, and all equipment was removed after the fourth visit. The service episode was completed successfully; an ongoing subscription was not considered necessary for this property.
This example shows why weekly checks and adjustments matter, and why we confirm a quiet period before removing equipment. It documents the result of this Portland project, not a promise that another property will need exactly four visits or that new moles can never return.
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.
Tell us which part of the property is active, who maintains it, and how we can reach it. Mak and Maleah will help you choose service for the problem you have now. 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
In Portland, a narrow front lawn, a sidewalk planting strip and a shared courtyard may have different maintenance arrangements. Show us the ground you want serviced, including the side gate and a wider view of the yard. Before setup, we confirm who can authorize work and how we can reach the active areas for weekly checks. You do not need a large lawn for fresh mole mounds to disrupt the space you use every day.
Tell us whether this is the first problem in years or part of a recurring pattern. That history helps you choose between resolving the current episode with MG30 and ongoing service. A Portland address alone does not mean you need a subscription.
Practical homeowner tips
For a Portland hillside yard, include stairs, retaining walls and the edge of maintained lawn in your photos. The city’s Tryon–Stephens headwaters planning identifies slope and infiltration constraints in that study area; it does not describe every Portland property. For your home, the practical question is how we can safely reach the ground with current mole activity.
Do not dig into a slope, cut roots or widen a path to expose a suspected run. Photograph fresh soil from safe ground and tell us about access limits before we visit. Moving walls, washouts or unstable ground need separate assessment; mole removal does not repair those conditions.
Local details that matter
Portland’s private stormwater-maintenance guidance covers rain gardens, basins, planters and swales. If fresh soil appears beside one, send a photo showing the feature and adjacent lawn. Tell us which area you maintain and whether another owner or the city is responsible for the drainage feature. This makes the service boundary clearer before traps are placed.
Keep inlets open and leave the planting and drainage layout intact. You do not need to fill a swale or clear vegetation for a mole-control inquiry. We focus on active mole runs in the agreed service area; stormwater upkeep and drainage repairs remain separate work.
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.
Real property stories, service progress and verified results.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Describe the accessible ground and tell us who has authority over it. Shared landscaping or several separate maintained areas may need a scope discussion before we confirm qualifying residential pricing.
No. Leave the slope and roots intact. Take photographs from safe ground, note where new soil appeared, and tell us about stairs or retaining walls before the visit.
No. Identify the ownership and purpose of that feature. We agree on the maintained service area; public facilities and drainage repairs are not automatically part of residential mole control.
Tell us what is happening on your property. Mak and Maleah will help you understand the next step.
