Targeted Mole Control That Protects Your Lawn from the Ground Up

Professional Mole Bait Application

Moles can turn a healthy lawn into a maze of conical mounds and raised ridges almost overnight. Grasshopper Gardens offers professional mole control using worm-shaped mole bait that has been proven effective against the eastern mole. Our technicians apply bait directly in active mole tunnels across Albany, Saratoga Springs, and the Capital District, so you can get back to enjoying your grassy areas without the damage.

The Benefits of Professional Mole Bait Treatment

  • Targets moles where they live and feed, right inside active tunnels and subsurface runways
  • Uses worm-shaped bait that mimics a mole’s natural food source for reliable single feeding results
  • Professional placement keeps the product underground, not sitting on the soil surface
  • Up to 10 baits applied per visit in active mole tunnels for thorough coverage
  • Reduces conical mounds, ridges, and tunnel collapse across lawns and garden beds
  • Applied by trained technicians familiar with mole activity patterns in our region

Mole Control Made Easy and Effective

Identifying an active mole tunnel, placing worm bait correctly, and following the product label takes experience. Our technicians handle every step, from locating feeding tunnels to marking treated areas with a flag marker. You skip the trial and error of DIY trapping and mole trap setups and get a targeted approach that works with the mole’s natural behavior underground.

Mole Treatment Services for a Healthier Lawn

Professional mole control starts with finding the problem. Our technicians look for fresh conical mounds, raised ridges, and soft spots that point to an active mole tunnel. Once we confirm activity, we place worm-shaped mole bait directly inside the tunnel system. Because the bait mimics an earthworm, the mole’s natural food source, it often works in a single feeding, with moles typically expiring underground within 12 to 24 hours. We apply up to 10 baits per visit and flag each treated hole. Additional visits can be scheduled at an added charge if mole activity continues.

Having recently engaged Grasshopper Gardens for lawn treatment, I can confidently say their service exceeded my expectations. Their customer care team provided a helpful advance notification, and the lawn technician’s work was exceptional. My lawn has never looked better, and is healthy and vibrant.  The customer service is the best I’ve ever encountered, and any Grasshopper employees I’ve dealt with have always been courteous, knowledgeable, and responsive.  I wholeheartedly recommend Grasshopper Gardens to anyone in need of top-tier landscaping services.

The guys were just excellent. Their expertise in their work was very evident. The placement of the tree was just right. The new tree looks perfect in our yard. When they were done our lawn was perfect and it looked like the tree had been there for long time. I would whole heartedly recommend Grasshopper Gardens and LJ and Billy for any tree service. Thanks very much for a job well done.

“Jeremy is a very nice young man. He does a great job and is friendly and courteous. I hope he continues to do my lawn service next year!”

Laurie W. Default

Our yard was was completely damaged from a drainage install we had done and we have clay soil which is the absolute worse to deal with. We literally needed a whole new lawn installed from front to back. Grasshopper Gardens was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Whether I was speaking to someone from the office or the two men who came and did all the hard work, everyone was so professional and courteous. They did such an amazing job leveling out our yard (which was definitely not easy, even breaking up clumps of clay by hand) laying down the top soil, grading and then hydro seeding the whole thing. They came on time, worked hard the whole time they were here, respected my property and banged out the whole job in one day. I am so happy we chose them and will definitely continue to be a customer for years to come.

“James really took the time to talk to me about my lawn and treated it like it was his own. This was an excellent experience from a customer service perspective. Just what I am looking for from a local (not national) company.”

“Grasshopper does beautiful, beautiful work. All the crews from maintenance to building and installing are professional, responsive, neat and super hardworking. They all have an artistic eye and our property, which is both landscaped by and maintained by Grasshopper, looks stunning. The beautiful sunset terraces we had built last year are phenomenal!”

Year-Round Mole Activity in the Capital District

Mole activity changes with the seasons in upstate New York. Spring and fall are peak windows, when moist soil brings earthworms closer to the surface and moles follow. Summer pushes activity deeper, though irrigated lawns often stay busy. Winter slows surface signs, but tunnel networks stay in place and set up next season’s damage. Timing service to seasonal pressure helps stop mounds and feeding tunnels before they spread across your lawn.

FAQs

Look for fresh conical mounds of loose soil, raised ridges running in a straight line across the lawn, or soft spots that collapse underfoot. Our technicians confirm mole activity before any bait is applied, so treatment always targets an active run.

The bait is designed to look, feel, and smell like the mole’s natural food source. Once ingested, the active ingredient delivers a lethal dose, often in a single feeding. Moles typically expire in their tunnels within 12 to 24 hours.

 Most lawns respond well to a single visit with up to 10 baits placed in active mole tunnels. Larger properties or heavier mole populations may require additional visits, which can be requested at an added charge.

 Our technicians place bait underground inside active tunnels, not on the soil surface, and follow every product label requirement. This keeps the bait isolated from pets and wildlife. We share precautions specific to your property before service.

A mole trap or body-gripping trap requires precise placement inside a feeding tunnel and consistent monitoring. Professional worm bait treatment reaches moles where they eat, without the time investment of setting and checking traps day after day.

Spring and fall usually show the strongest results, when moist soil and active earthworm movement bring moles closer to the surface. We also treat year-round whenever active mole tunnels are confirmed.
