Holly Springs · Cherokee County, Georgia
We trap moles in Holly Springs and across Cherokee County — and that is all we do. Holly Springs is a growing Cherokee County community, and the pattern there matches the county as a whole: subdivision lawns that are watered and kept up, sitting in otherwise dry ground — the wettest, wormiest patch for acres, and the first place a mole finds.

Live local conditions · Cherokee County
Soil at 6cm is 68°F and on the dry side. Worms are holding a little deeper than they would after rain, so expect fewer new ridges and more deep runs. An irrigated lawn in these conditions becomes the wettest ground for acres — and takes the pressure the whole neighbourhood would otherwise share.
Conditions are shifting, so surface sign will come and go over the next couple of weeks. The animal underneath does not come and go with it.
Fall surge
Cooling soil and fall rain bring earthworms back toward the surface, and mole activity comes back up with them. The fall surge is usually the second-heaviest damage period of the year after spring.
What that means for trapping: Fall is prime trapping. Animals removed now are animals that do not overwinter in your lawn and do not breed there in February.
If you are in Holly Springs
When the surrounding ground dries out, a watered Holly Springs lawn stands out the way a single green patch stands out in a dry field. The mole does not need to search the neighbourhood; it goes straight to the lawn that stayed damp, and works it until the animal is removed.
Before you spend another season on it
It is the most commonly sold mole treatment in north Georgia, and for most yards it makes the damage worse rather than better.
Read why →Castor oil products can push a mole off one part of a yard for a while. They cannot remove it, and that difference is the whole ballgame.
Read why →Bait looks like the obvious answer. Its results are the most inconsistent of any mole product sold, and the reason is simple once you know how a mole feeds.

Our trapping starts at $250. The final price depends on the size of the property and how many separate run systems are working the yard, which is what the free no-obligation visit determines. You get a firm number before any work begins.
Usually far fewer than people expect. Eastern moles are largely solitary and territorial, and a single animal can ridge up a startling amount of lawn. A yard that looks like it holds a dozen moles very often holds one or two.
No, and it frequently makes the damage worse. Earthworms make up the bulk of an eastern mole's diet, so killing grubs leaves its actual food supply intact while increasing the ground it has to cover to feed itself — which means more tunnelling through your lawn.
They can push a mole off a treated section of lawn temporarily. They do not remove the animal, the effect washes out with Georgia rainfall, and the mole returns to tunnels that were never filled in. You are renting a result that expires.
Yes — trapping is how we remove moles. When people search for mole removal, mole control, or a mole exterminator, they usually mean the same job: get the animal out of the yard and keep it out. We do that by trapping, not by a recurring control program, poison, or a spray that has to be reapplied.
On most properties it is a matter of days rather than a season. We set into live runs, return to check and adjust, and keep working the yard until the activity stops.
We keep working the property until the trapping is done and the activity has stopped — that is what the price covers, however many visits it takes.
Usually not. Surface ridging comes and goes with soil temperature and moisture — when the ground gets hot and dry or cold, earthworms move deeper and the moles follow them down out of sight. The runs stay open and the activity returns when conditions turn.
We work in Cobb County, Cherokee County, Bartow County only. Keeping the area tight is deliberate: soil varies a lot across north Georgia and knowing the ground is most of reading a yard correctly.
Because it is the wettest ground around. In dry Cherokee ground, an irrigated subdivision lawn is the wormiest patch for acres, so a mole chooses it over the drier lots. Your neighbours are not luckier — their ground is simply drier.
Trapping starts at $250 and it is guaranteed: we keep working the property until the trapping is done and the activity has stopped — that is what the price covers, however many visits it takes.
Serving Cobb, Cherokee, Bartow counties only — so we know the ground.
