Mole Control in Reno, NV
Humane Mole Control for Reno Lawns & Properties
Moles don’t eat your plants, but the damage they leave behind is hard to miss. Raised ridges cutting across your lawn, volcano-shaped molehills, and soft spots underfoot all point to active tunneling just below the surface. At ecoPest Wildlife Management, we offer mole control for Reno properties that starts with a free inspection and includes a plan built around humane trapping and exclusion measures to help reduce future mole activity.
Moles are insect-eating mammals that tunnel in search of earthworms and grubs, not plant roots, which is why the damage pattern looks different from other burrowing pests. Identifying what you’re dealing with is the first step toward resolving it, and that’s where we come in.

Identifying Mole Damage in Reno Yards
Confirming mole activity before treatment saves time and targets the right pest. Moles leave a recognizable set of clues: raised ridges of pushed-up soil running in irregular lines across a lawn, conical mounds of loose dirt at tunnel entry points, and soft or spongy patches where tunnels have collapsed just below the surface. You may also notice visible tunneling near the edges of irrigated turf or garden beds.
It’s worth distinguishing moles from the two other burrowing pests that damage Reno properties. Voles look like mice, stay close to the surface, and feed primarily on vegetation and grass roots. Gophers build deeper, more extensive burrow systems and consume plant roots and bulbs. Moles, by contrast, are insectivores that rarely surface, feeding almost entirely on worms and grubs. The type of damage and the shape of the soil disturbance can help show which animal you’re dealing with.
Our Mole Control Process
Every mole control engagement begins with a thorough site assessment. We walk the affected areas to map active tunnels, locate fresh mounds, and understand the scope of activity before recommending a course of action. That assessment drives the plan, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Humane trapping is our primary method. We place traps along confirmed active runs and monitor them consistently. Nevada wildlife guidelines call for humane, rapid dispatch of trapped nuisance wildlife rather than relocation, and our technicians follow that standard on every job. Once trapping is underway, we address long-term prevention through physical exclusion barriers and adjustments to soil conditions that can make the property less hospitable to moles.
