These guys have been amazing, and I really appreciate their help. 2 different, unrelated things, and they got them both addressed quickly. I hope I never have to reach out to them again! but if I do, I appreciate having a reliable go-to solution for it.

This company is honest with the service they provided. Trusted them 100% in correcting our mole issues. Our lawn now looks great. We never had to be home . They came out once a week to check the traps and reset.

Metro Mole is amazing at getting moles, voles, gophers and other digging yard pests under control. Their A-team has helped us to reclaim our yard and avoid the dreaded dirt piles that have plagued our yard for the past few years. We highly recommend Metro Mole Control's services.

Rick from Metro Mole Control just left and gave a refreshing honest assessment of my yard. I had called after finding a three molehills in my yard. He came out and agreed they were molehills but assured me none of them looked active.
Instead of making money to make money, he was kind, upfront and honest about the fact I did not need his services.
If in the future if I do need Metro Mole, Rick will be the person I call. Thanks, Rick!!

The team at Metro Mole Control was fantastic to work with. They were honest in their assessment and completely upfront about pricing. We had a vole problem in our yard, and I reached out to at least six different companies, including several well-known chains. Metro Mole offered the most reasonable pricing and service by far. They also didn’t use any high-pressure sales tactics, which I really appreciated.
We ended up signing up for a year-long plan after they explained why it’s more effective than a short-term approach. Should those pesky voles come back, I won’t hesitate to call Metro Mole again. Thanks for your great work!

Rick was awesome. I was under the impression that I had a Vole problem. After careful inspection of my property Rick was able to determine that I in fact Did Not have a mole or vole problem! That it was more likely to be an insect or grub issue. Greatly appreciate the fact that Rick was able to stear me on the right direction!

We contacted Metro Mole Control to help with moles that had done a lot of damage to our yard. Rick came out right away and put us on a corrective plan. Everything was a success. Two moles were trapped quickly, and no additional activity was observed.
I would recommend Metro Mole Control to anyone experiencing this problem. They are an efficient company to do business with.

Zak and Barb were great to work with. They took 3 moles out of my yard and 4 moles from my neighbor's lot. Barb is very responsive when I have questions. I saw Zak several times working in my yard. He was always courteous and information. After battling moles with every known defense/trap system for 5 years, it only took a month for Metro Mole to solve my problem. I will use them again if there are future problems.

Rick is amazing! After calling 6 other pest control companies, Metro Mole was lucky number 7. Rick was able to get out to my house the next day to get rid of my problem that no one else would help with. He was professional and the price was very reasonable. Thanks to you, Rick, I'll be grilling tonight!!! Definitely recommend Metro Mole Control 👌 👍

Rick and the rest of the Metro Mole Control Team did such a fantastic job. Rick was able to come out quickly, evaluate the holes in my backyard, and diagnose the issue as 1 pesky gopher. Within a week, the gopher was trapped. Very affordable too!

Metro Mole was called due to a Gopher problem. 15 Mounds of dirt suddenly appeared. Rick came out and did a quick survey and determined that it was just one Gopher. He set two traps and the next day the Gopher was caught and no more piles of dirt from then on.
Metro Mole took care of things so quickly I definitely would recommend them for Gopher or Mole services.

Rick was outstanding at tracking and clearing our property of unwanted guests. We have a rather big yard (multiple acres) and I watched him the first time out in the yard. I could not believe that he knew exactly where to go and catch these guys? Thank you sir! You have a customer for life!

We had a great experience working with Metro Mole Control and highly recommend them! Rick came out quickly to do the initial consultation and was prompt in setting up traps and checked them weekly. Their services were affordable and effective in solving our mole problem we had in both our front and back yard, and we appreciated the great professionalism and communication so we knew how things were going.

In 2021 I tried to take care of my mole problems unsuccessfully. In 2022 of course the moles returned and ruining my lawn. I googled to find some who could help and came upon metro mole control. Very quickly The traps were set and the mikes were captured. My lawn is now “ mole free.” I would highly recommend metro mole control. They were great to work with. Friendly, professional, effective at a very reasonable cost. My mole problem is history!

When we called Rick he trapped somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 moles within a couple of weeks on our property. Sorry neighbors for the destruction on your property too, it looks as though our lovely mulch job under the pine trees provided a luxuriously comfortable home to the vermin. We give Metro Mole Control a five star rating for effective and professional removal of moles!

I thought I had a mole, vole, or gopher problem in my yard, but was pleasantly surprised when Rick told me it was only a rabbit's nest. Metro Mole Control came out to the house the day after I called and did a free, no obligation inspection. Highly recommend!

Rick came out and assessed my property. He was upfront and straightforward about the moles in my yard. Rick gave honest advice of mole prevention. We agreed on a 4 week plan. Rick came out weekly to remove moles and reset traps in our yard. It was effective and I am very pleased with the results. I would recommend his service to anyone.

I moved to Plymouth in a newly constructed community in 2018. After snow melt early Spring 2020, I was devastated to find my newly sodded lawn riddled with dead patches of grass. I researched online and discovered I had a major voles problem. I evaluated several rodent service providers on Thumbtack and ultimately selected Metro Mole Control for their responsiveness and professionalism. They were extremely knowledgeable in rodent control during my initial consultation. Owner Rick was personable and made me feel I could trust him. I had a question, he had an answer. They were very reasonably priced so I gave them a chance. Within a month, I saw physical evidence of traps working. Can't ask for more than traps working - problem; solution. Metro Mole Control serviced my traps frequently and readjusted traps to keep current with voles movements. I'm very happy with Metro Mole Control and will continue their service in 2021.

I noticed some bumps in my yard and quickly filled an online request form on their website. I received a call from Rick and he was out the same day setting traps. I told him I didn't want to have to see or touch one...I just needed him to handle it and get rid of the little buggers. Well, he did just that. He caught 3 quickly and so far so good! Great customer service and I didn't have to see a thing!!:)

Awesome job and thank you!!!! Rick did an awesome job! He set the traps in well traveled areas and followed up every week for 4 weeks.
End of 4 weeks, 7 moles gone and one striped squirrel. I will definitely use them again in the future.
Thank you Rick for saving my lawn and responding so quickly.

I called Rick last spring when I noticed increased damage to our yard from moles after spring cleanup.Incidentally this had been going on since last summer. We used Natural Lawn of America’s mole program to no avail, but to be fair Rick explained that most prevention methods don’t work when moles are already established in your yard. It’s necessary to get rid of them first. When he inspected our yard in early May, Rick said he didn’t see enough recent activity to warrant the cost and to call him if areas previously damaged “lit up again” by showing new activity. They did by early August, so he came out and trapped 2 moles within 3 weeks. I appreciate his honest assessment last spring and his prompt response when I called back in August. We live on the edge of a heavily wooded area so I expect to see moles again at some point and will definitely call Rick again. Great customer service and value!

We had a serious mole problem last Summer and had no clue where to start. There were mole tunnels all over our yard. We were overwhelmed. We hired Rick and he had our problem fixed in no time. He is prompt, professional, great at communicating/providing updates, and in our opinion, the best. We will continue to hire him each Summer for maintenance purposes because we trust in him and he gets the job done.
