St. Louis Mole Removal's mole videos show you the 2 very different types of mole infestation which often EITHER require Mole Trapping, or Mole Removal Soil Treatment. These 2 mole removal methods aren't usually interchangeable. If you only have a few longer, straighter tunnels, you often just need to trap and you're done. If your mole problem is more of a mess of mounds or widespread tunnels, or if moles infest yearly, your lawn's going to need to be treated as it's working long term to pull local moles in to infest.


To help you identify if you should trap or treat, these "before and after", "Side by Side" videos show examples of St. Louis mole activity, what the activity means, what you may be doing to cause or worsen it, and whether it should be trapped or treated, the only alternative to extermination and the only way to combat persistent infestation where trapping has failed.


​​Mole infestation happens in 2 ways: 1) "Pass Through Infestation"should be trapped (Longer, Straighter, Isolated Tunnels); or 2) "Destination Infestation" needs St. Louis Mole Removal's Soil Treatment as the soil's attracting moles in (Widespread, Persistent Zig-Zagging Tunnels, Mounds where Mole Trapping continues to fail).


  1. With straight, isolated mole tunnels, these moles are just passing through to get to a neighbor's property. These are frequent use tunnels which are easily targeted by traps, and there's nothing about this type of infestation that indicates that the ground is drawing the moles in. So killing moles one by one is best for Pass Through Infestation. You can order our St. Louis mole trapping here.
  2. With wide-spread, zig-zagging mole tunnels, mole mounds, or churning soil, this means the soil's actually the problem as it's puling in moles from throughout your Saint Louis neighborhood. This activity means you're the mole's Destination and they're likely coming from several lawns away just to get there. This is why your infestation often looks worse than your neighbor's yard and even stops at your property line, because it's your soil that's pulling in the neighborhood's population of moles and, because moles are territorial, killing them 1 by 1 only clears the way for the next moles to move in to re-infest. For wide-spread mole tunnels and mounds, the soil should be treated to help Drive Moles Out & Keep Them Out Long Term, often 2-3 yrs. You can order mole removal treatment here.


When your soil's the cause of your lawn moles, or #2 above, it acts as a powerful lure for neighboring moles. That's why your infestation is significantly worse than your neighbors' lawns...as seen in videos. And, as moles are territorial, mole trapping alone only clears the way for the next moles to move in to re-infest your lawn, so long as the soil is still attracting them in. And pulling out a neighborhood's population of moles that keep coming into your lawn with mole trapping at $69/mole gets expensive when wide-spread tunneling is present, and is often the wrong method.


If your mole infestation is wide spread mole tunnels or mole mounds, having St. Louis Mole Removal treat your st louis lawn is often the only effective method to help Drive Lawn Moles Out and help Keep Moles Out Long Term.
