Tired of lumpy tunnels ruining your grass? Fresh dirt mounds showing up while you sleep? River Pest LLC clears moles out of your New Bern yard and helps your lawn heal. We track the tunnels, remove the moles, and give you real peace of mind.
Mole control means removing the moles under your lawn before they tunnel it to pieces. Let me clear up the biggest myth first. A mole is not a rat or a mouse. It is not an insect either. A mole lives underground and hunts grubs and earthworms all day long. It has zero interest in your house. It wants the bugs in your dirt. And New Bern soil, soft and damp near the Neuse River, gives moles all the food they could want.
So one mole digs fast. It can carve hundreds of feet of tunnel in a single week. That is where we step in. Our technicians have spent years on mole control in New Bern, NC, so we read the tunnels and set traps in the right spots. We do not poke around and hope. We track the mole, pull it out, and help you keep the next one from digging in. And since we handle a full range of pests year-round, we can check your yard for other pest problems while we are there. Not sure if it is moles or something else?
You have a mole problem when raised tunnels and dirt mounds start tearing up your lawn. Moles stay underground, so you almost never see one. You see the mess they leave. Here are the signs we run into most in Craven County yards.
Call our 24/7 Emergency Hotline:
We handle the whole mole job, from finding live tunnels to keeping them from coming back.
First we walk your lawn and find the tunnels moles really use. Not every tunnel is active. We tell the difference, so traps go where the mole actually travels. This free inspection sets up the whole plan.
Trapping is the surest way to remove a mole. We place traps in the live runways and check them until the mole is gone. It works far better than poison peanuts or store gadgets that just shuffle the mole around.
Moles come for the food in your soil. A yard packed with grubs and worms pulls in more moles. We can treat the ground to cut their food supply, so your lawn stops looking like a buffet.
Once the mole is out, we help you keep it out. We show you simple steps, like fixing drainage and watching for new mounds, so you catch a problem early instead of late.
Local families call us back because we fix the problem and keep it fixed.

Excellent service taking time to explain what is needed and why.Posted on Google Chris Waters26/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After having another company that insisted I call them every three months to make an appointment instead of just doing it, I met Casey at Mumfest. The only question I asked at the time was, can you just schedule it every quarter and just come by. We hired him right there and haven't looked back. He does the best job of any exterminator I have ever had. I know when he is done and leaves that those bugs are not going to make it to the house. I highly recommend you give home a call if you need a dedicated, honest and reliable exterminator.Posted on Google Jennifer Bassler24/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
