Signs of moles in a Morehead City yard

Raised ridges snaking just under the lawn that feel spongy when you step on them
Molehills: cone-shaped mounds of loose soil, usually with no visible hole
Soil that sinks or rises back up after you flatten it
Wilting or yellow grass that hasn’t been eaten, just cut off from its roots
No gnaw marks or open holes. Those point to voles, not moles

Moles don’t eat plants. They dig for worms and pull soil away from roots.

How we treat moles in Morehead City

It starts with a free inspection of your yard. Then you pick the level of service.

TALPIRID mole bait

Clegg’s uses Bell Labs’ TALPIRID bait. It’s shaped like an earthworm, the mole’s natural food, and it kills moles before they do more damage.

One-time or year-round

Choose a one-time mole remediation service or a year-round protection option.

Moles, not voles

Moles eat grubs and earthworms and leave ridges and volcano-shaped mounds. Voles are plant-eating rodents that chew roots, stems and bark. The two are easy to confuse.

Why not DIY?

Trapping is the most reliable home method. Repellents, poison baits, sonic spikes and flooding tunnels are other options. Or call Clegg’s and consider it done.

Sharing the yard with more than moles? The same office handles ant control and mosquito control.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was dreading the "wait at home and we'll be there eventually." The exact opposite happened. On time. On point. A polite knock on the door opened to a huge smile and extremely efficient work. Miller is the best in the business. Will recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Holly nailed it—Ben from the Greenville team provides top-tier customer service! He was so insightful and thorough during his visit. Not only did he resolve my main issue right away, but his attention to detail meant he caught and fixed another underlying problem on the spot. Clegg’s has always been prompt and reliable, but team members like Ben make them stand out. Extremely grateful for his help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our house is in the woods and insects and mice are part of the cost of living there. Our Clegg’s technician is Auston, and he is incredibly helpful and thorough during routine treatments every three months. On the rare occasion we need to call between those regular visits, he always goes above and beyond to treat the source of the problem. I highly recommend Clegg’s.

Mole control questions from Morehead City

How do you get rid of moles in a Morehead City yard?

We start with a free inspection, then treat with TALPIRID bait, which mimics the earthworms moles feed on. You can choose a one time treatment or year round protection from our Morehead City office.

Are moles eating my plants?

No. Moles eat grubs and earthworms. The damage comes from their digging, which pulls soil away from roots and opens tunnels that other animals use to reach them.

How can I tell moles from voles?

Moles leave raised ridges and cone shaped mounds of soil with no open hole. Voles are small rodents that make shallow surface runways and small holes, and they chew on roots, stems and bark.

Do repellents or sonic spikes work?

Homeowners try repellents, poison baits, sonic spikes and flooding tunnels, but trapping is the most reliable of the home methods. Or call Clegg’s and consider it done.

Do you treat moles in Beaufort, Atlantic Beach and Newport?

Yes. Our Morehead City office handles mole control in Morehead City, Beaufort, Atlantic Beach, Newport and the rest of Carteret County.
