Organically & Environmentally Friendly, Guaranteed Safe and Effective!
Our unique delivery system assists landowners with the removal of most species of underground burrowing pests. The majority of our customers benefit from our rodent control services on the following types of pesky rodents and animals:
Moles, Gophers, Voles, Ground Squirrels, Groundhogs, Fox, Coyotes, and Armadillos.
So, how do we do what we do?
When used with the Rodenator Pro™, a precise mixture of 2% propane and
98% oxygen is injected into the tunnel for a predetermined amount of
time. When this gas mixture is detonated by the Rodenator Pro™, the
gasses rapidly expand inside the tunnel, creating a underground
shock wave that eliminates the animal within the tunnel and collapses
the tunnel system of most burrowing species.
Next, we then install traps in the active (fresh) tunnel system to kill those moles that might be feeding off-site on the day we treat your property. In this manner, we methodically rid the area of all moles as they hunt for their primary food source...earthworms. This is a 4-week process, minimum, but affords the property owner the best (and guaranteed) method of eliminating moles from your land. Because moles and other burrowing animals are mobile it is virtually impossible to get rid of them in one treatment which is why our method works and is GUARANTEED!
We were recently featured on a local Fox17 news affiliate in Nashville, Tennessee and you can view the story here: Fox17 Mole News Story.
Is this process safe? Will it harm my children or pets?
Propane and oxygen are not considered a poison...in fact, the by-products of the process are carbon dioxide and water vapor. Immediately upon completion of our "mole-killing" efforts and leaving the area, your children and pets may re-enter to play and enjoy a mole-free yard at last!
How fast is the process?
In most cases, the average amount of time it takes to treat a tunnel, from discovery of the hole to detonation is about 2 minutes. A typical mole-infested acre of land takes about 3 to 4 hours to treat initially (including trap-setting). We then follow-up for the next 4 weeks with weekly visits to remove any moles from the traps and then re-set them in any fresh tunnels. In this manner we can guarantee complete eradication of these pesky varmints from your yard with this consistent, planned attack on treating your property.
Do you ever see the animal after treatment? How do you know you eliminated the critter?
The nice thing about the Rodenator Pro™ process is that you never have
to handle or see the dead animal after the process is completed. In most cases, the tunnel system of the mole will be totally collapsed. In the
case of pocket gophers and ground hogs, you will see a noticeable reduction in tunneling
activity after you have treated an area. As with other burrowing
animals such as ground squirrels or woodchucks, after treatment, you
bury the hole and level out the mounds. This prevents another animal
from re-invading the system and assures that the original occupant has
expired. Fox, Coyotes and other nuisance animals are killed in the same as they inhabit the dens of the larger burrowing animals like ground hogs and gophers.
Basic Q&A...
Q: Why do other mole control methods not work?
A:
Ultrasonic and Vibration Devices
Ultrasonic
devices are designed to create a shrill high-pitched sound that is
supposed to mimic the sound of another mole. Ultrasonic mole control
products assume that since moles are very territorial, they will think
there is another mole occupying the territory and move on. Vibration
devices supposedly annoy the mole by constantly vibrating the ground.
We
have many customers who call us and tell us they have tried these
devices to get rid of moles and are now turning to our product. What
these customers have realized is that moles adapt to their environment
like any other creature. They may be temporarily deterred from going
into an area with an ultrasonic or vibration device, but they will
always attempt to expand their own territory. When they meet no
physical opposition, they will go right into the area that is
supposedly protected by the device. It is actually quite common for
moles to simply uproot these devices and push them out of the ground!
Mole Repellents
These
measures call for spraying the ground affected by moles with a
repellent such as Castor oil or other variations. The grubs and worms
in the treated area (which are the mole’s primary food source) will
then taste bad to the mole and it will move away, or, the odor will mask the scent of the insects until the next rain washes the oil away.
This method is
somewhat more effective than the electronic products we discussed, but
it requires frequent reapplication. If you live in a dry area, then you
can expect to reapply this treatment at least 4 times per year to be
effective. If you live in a rainy area, you will have to apply this
treatment about once per month. If you choose this method, be prepared
to pay a lot of money and spend a lot of time.
Mole Poison
Similar to repellents, mole poison seeps into the ground and taints the mole’s food supply.
One
would have to first obtain the mole poison (which in most places can
only be purchased if you are professionally certified), and then apply
it heavily enough that the mole will ingest the mole poison through the
worms it eats. This method is definitely not advisable if you have
pets, children, or anything living on or around the area affected by
moles.
Chewing gum
The idea here is the mole
will ingest the gum and choke to death as a result. Not only have we
never seen proof this method works, but one must have serious doubts as
to whether a carnivorous animal will be prone to eating gum. Not one of
the more plausible methods.
Smoke bombs
These
do, on occasion, provide temporary relief from moles (by temporary, we
mean 3 - 5 days at the most). Many of our customers had tried this
method before using our product but became tired of constantly lighting
smoke bombs whenever they see a mole tunnel. This is an ongoing
"bandage" solution.
Pesticides
Logically, if
we take away the moles' food, we will, in time take away the moles'
reason for being there. Compared to the other approaches, this is the
most plausible method of mole control without traps. Pesticides can
work, but there are some serious drawbacks. The first drawback is that
pesticides are expensive since the area affected by moles would have to
be treated at least 4 times per year to be an effective form of mole
removal. Secondly, these chemicals can be harmful to birds, children,
and pets. Finally, these insecticides can eliminate all terrestrial
agents, including worms, which are important for soil aeration and
fertility. An interesting phenomenon that our customers have mentioned
is that upon spraying their lawn with pesticides, the mole activity
increased exponentially. When moles have an established tunnel system,
they are quite reluctant to leave. Upon finding very few worms and
grubs, often they will just look harder for food in their current
territory.
Putting a hose down the tunnel
Many
people think they can drown the mole or at least force it to the
surface. Most mole tunnel systems are extensive enough to provide the
mole with any number of escape routes. We have heard of a few lucky
people who have flushed out moles using this method. In order to be
successful, the mole has to be within a few feet of you, must be in
non-absorbing soil (clay-based), and must have only one route of escape
(which you will be aware of and have an implement of death such as a
shovel ready and waiting). If you do succeed, go out and buy a lottery
ticket, because you just can't lose!
Running car exhaust down a tunnel
As
above, most tunnel systems will provide the mole several avenues of
escape, rendering this an ineffective form of mole control.
Using a shovel or pitchfork
We’ve
run into some customers who have been fortunate to get the mole using
this method. For this to be successful, you’ll need a lot of time on
your hands while waiting for the mole to appear. Then, you must be
lightening quick as you uproot the mole. This is a very slow and
difficult approach with scattered results.
Mothballs
The idea is that the moles detest the smell of mothballs and will move away because of it. See the discussion on smoke bombs.
Q: You mention traps as part of your method for getting rid of moles; can I buy the traps and use them myself?
A:
Yes, our traps are available for purchase and, actually, we recommend our customers purchase 1 or 2 to help maintain mole control for their yard. They are easy to set and are virtually guaranteed to kill the mole when used properly...and when administered in conjunction with our Rodenator process to collapse or erupt the existing tunnel system you, as the homeowner, are assured of long-term control of these pesky insectivores.
Q: Great! How much are they and how do I purchase them?
A: Our traps are safe and easy to use and are $34.95 each or two for $64.95, plus S/H.
