FAQs
Can your landscaping services help with common Salem soil and shrub problems?
Yes. Our foundational work in landscape maintenance directly addresses local issues like soil compaction and overgrown shrubs. Through services like lawn renovation and regular maintenance, we improve soil health and manage plant growth, which can also help create a less inviting environment for pests by promoting a healthier, more resilient yard.
How do you ensure moles or gophers are removed humanely?
Our specialty is humane removal using custom-built underground traps. We focus on trapping, which is the most reliable control method for these pests in our region. Our technicians are trained to identify the specific species—whether it's a Townsend mole or a pocket gopher—to use the most appropriate and effective trap, ensuring a responsible approach to pest management.
Why is trapping considered the best method for mole control in Salem?
In the Pacific Northwest, moles primarily feed on earthworms and soil insects underground. Since they don't respond to typical baits, trapping is the most direct and reliable solution. Our methods are tailored to the local species, like the large Townsend mole common here. Our goal is to solve the problem completely on the first visit, preventing further damage to your lawn and garden.
