How does Bug Zapper get rid of moles and gophers?

Bug Zapper uses professional trapping and baiting methods to eliminate moles and gophers from your yard. We identify active tunnels, place professional equipment, and monitor until the diggers are removed. Our service includes a 1-year guarantee.

How do I know if I have moles or gophers?

Moles create raised tunnel ridges across your lawn and volcano-shaped mounds of fine soil. Gophers create fan-shaped mounds with a visible plug hole and typically damage plant roots and garden beds. Bug Zapper can identify which pest you have during inspection.

Do sonic mole repellers actually work?

Sonic and ultrasonic mole repellers have not been proven effective in independent studies. Professional trapping and baiting are the most reliable methods for mole and gopher removal.

How long does it take to get rid of moles?

Most mole and gopher problems can be resolved within 1-2 weeks with professional trapping. Bug Zapper monitors traps and adjusts placement as needed until the problem is resolved.

Problem solved properly

Your Yard Shouldn’t Look Like Swiss Cheese.

A beautiful lawn and landscape takes time, money, and care. When moles, gophers, voles, or ground squirrels move in, they can quickly create tunnels, mounds, damaged roots, and torn-up garden beds.

Instead of guessing which underground pest is responsible, Bug Zapper identifies the activity, places the right equipment, and helps restore the yard you worked hard to create.

Install Pro Equipment

We place professional traps, baits, or both in the right locations for maximum results based on your yard’s conditions.

Remove the Problem

On follow-up visits, we check catches, reset equipment, and keep working the active areas until the digging stops.

Prevent Repeat Damage

Depending on your plan, we help prevent new moles, voles, gophers, or ground squirrels from taking over again.

Why Are Moles & Gophers So Hard To Get Rid Of?

Different digging pests leave different signs behind. Looking at the shape of mounds, tunnels, and holes in your yard can help identify whether you’re dealing with moles, gophers, voles, or ground squirrels and guide the right treatment approach.

Moles often create volcano-shaped dirt mounds.
Gophers often create horseshoe-shaped mounds.
Voles create shallow tunnels and open holes.
Ground squirrels create larger open holes in the yard.

They usually hide underground.

Digging pests hide underground. The damage shows up above ground.

Home Remedies Usually Don’t Fix The Problem.

People try everything — gum, sonic devices, gasoline, home traps, and more. The issue is not just the equipment. It’s knowing where to place it, when to reset it, and how to follow up based on activity.

Bug Zapper uses professional tools, years of experience, and repeat visits when needed to solve the issue faster and more reliably.
