We have been inundated with mole hills this spring. I counted 30 one morning, just in the lawn, more in the garden beds and fields. Gary saw utility pole posting 'Moles' with a phone number and called it. Scot came out and set about 20 traps, much much smaller and more compact that the jaw traps we usually use, with little flags to note where they are located. Less than a week later he returned to check the traps and got 2 moles. Reset the traps. On the plus side, I have only seen one new mole hill since he came out. He is quite confident that he will rid our yard of moles. In the 38 years we've been here, we've constantly battled these little rodents - it would be really nice to have a smooth lawn.
His fee is $150 for initial assessment and trap setting, then $60 per dead animal. Once he rids the yard of moles, if they return, he will only charge per animal (the $150 is a one-time fee). He lives in Arlington, seems like a nice guy.
Wonder why all our trappers are named Scotty (both the beaver guys and now the mole guy).
