We have have trapped over 1000 moles for this season. We currently are trapping about 100 each week.
Mole Control
1000 moles trapped in 2011!

April 11th, 2011 by Tuff Turf Molebusters
Carbon Monoxide to be more specific. We purchased a carbon monoxide compressor. We can inject Carbon Monoxide into the ground at 120 psi per injector at 4 different injection locations. The compressor will fill a 200 foot long mole tunnel with Carbon Monoxide in seconds. Any mole or vole in those tunnels will die within seconds. The gas will travel a couple hundred feet into any tunnels in the surrounding area that is connected to the tunnels in your lawn.
Winter Mole Activity
February 25th, 2011 by Tuff Turf MolebustersLast week when the weather warmed up and the snow melted for a day or two our phones were ringing off the hook! Customers were calling in to sign up for mole control programs because the melting of the snow uncovered yards full of mole trails. It sounds like there was a lot of mole activity going on this winter! One of our frequently asked questions is “Moles are dormant in winter, right?” In fact moles don’t hibernate nor do worms. The moles follow worms deep into the ground as both try to avoid freezing. Most of the moles deeper (older) tunnels remain comfortable throughout the winter. Winter damage by moles usually occurs during unseasonably warm periods or beneath the insulation of heavy snow. Moles can’t hibernate because they don’t store food or fat. This fact shows the importance of a good mole control program during the summer so that the moles don’t continue to repopulate and further damage your lawn during the winter.
2011 Mole Renewals
January 27th, 2011 by Tuff Turf MolebustersExisting mole clients can look for their mole renewal in their email yesterday or mailbox early next week.
3 more moles
January 11th, 2011 by Tuff Turf MolebustersWe found 3 frozen moles in traps under the snow. That is a good way to preserve them!
Moles from Arkansas
January 11th, 2011 by Tuff Turf MolebustersHey Jim,
We had a live mole in one of our traps the other day. I have attached a short video we shot of the mole. Feel free to use it if you would like.
Thanks for all your help

Final Mole Head Count
December 9th, 2010 by Tuff Turf MolebustersWe ended 2010 with a record number of trapped moles. We caught 1953 Michigan moles! The snow needed to wait one more week and I think we could have hit 2000.
Michigan Moles are Busy!
November 30th, 2010 by Tuff Turf MolebustersMoles are very active trying to get a good meal in before the frost sets in. Moles do not hibernate. They remain active all winter. However, it is a lot more difficult to find the worms under the frost line, so that is why we are seeing the large increase in mole activity now.
