“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 Salem

Fresh activity in a city lawn or a larger maintained property? Tell Mak and Maleah where it is happening and whether this is a new episode or a recurring pattern. 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

Name the affected part of Salem, then show the actual lawn

Salem’s local floodplain resources distinguish streams such as Mill, Pringle, Croisan and Glenn creeks. For a service request, your full address and a view of the affected lawn are more useful than assuming every property has the same river-valley conditions. Tell us if the usable grass is beside a ditch, at the foot of a slope, or divided into separate areas.

Keep a short timeline of the fresh activity. A first episode in an otherwise quiet lawn is different from separate returns over several seasons. That distinction helps us explain the primary MG30 offer and the ongoing Mole Dominator alternative without making a subscription the default.

Practical homeowner tips

Central and southeast drainage symptoms need their own description

The city’s floodplain plan identifies the Mill Creek and Shelton Ditch system as a major local flood concern, including older infrastructure and constrained crossings. This is not evidence that a particular mole mound caused flooding. If your inquiry includes standing water or a blocked inlet, photograph that condition separately from the fresh soil.

Do not push mound material into the street or a drainage channel before a visit. We assess active mole control, while drainage blockages and flood response belong with the appropriate property professional or public agency. A clear description avoids expecting one service to solve two unrelated ground problems.

Local details that matter

Keep streamside restoration and private turf distinct

Salem describes Minto-Brown Island Park as part of an interconnected floodplain landscape with sloughs, wetlands and restoration areas. Its streamside program also provides guidance for property owners. Those public projects show why a maintained lawn should be identified separately from natural or restored ground; they are not a claim about a customer infestation.

If your property has a streamside planting area, show where mowing stops and tell us who maintains the corridor. We can agree on accessible, authorized turf without clearing native vegetation or changing a waterway. For larger managed landscapes, explain the mowing schedule, tenant access and overall scope so a commercial quote can be prepared.

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.

Salem 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.

Do I need a separate plan just because my home is near a creek?

No. Creek context helps define access and boundaries, but your actual recurrence history guides the choice between MG30 and Mole Dominator.

What should I do when the lawn is wet as well as damaged?

Describe fresh mounds and drainage symptoms separately. Use Salem’s property-specific flood resources for flood questions; our service does not repair a stormwater system.

Can you quote a larger maintained property in Salem?

Yes. Mark the areas to be serviced and identify who can authorize weekly access. Larger residential areas and commercial grounds receive a custom quote rather than an assumed scope.
