Mole Works

I am a landscape/​maintenance contractor and have worked with and referred Terry for over 20 years. I have hundreds of customers and multiple options for mole removal companies. Terry is no non-​sense and to the point… and that is why we have never called another company. Mole Works is the best option for mole removal in the Portland market.

Just had a very odd experience with Terry from Mole Control. After reading the good reviews on Unilocal I decided to give him a call to come take care of a mole problem in my yard. Terry answered the phone and I told him I was looking for mole control services. He was kind of brusk from the get go, but I ignored it and scheduled a visit for «Thursday, Friday or Saturday» as he was not sure when he would be in my area. As it was Monday and moles were tearing up my front lawn, I decided to call around to see if I could do something sooner. I found another mole control service that was cheaper and could come out the next day. As I was about to call Terry back to thank him and cancel, he called me. Perfect, right? No. He told me he was driving by my house and that he could take a look right now. I told him thank you but that after talking to him I had decided to go another direction. This set him off and he basically yelled over the phone that I should have told him that on the phone earlier and why was I wasting his time. I calmly started explaining but he hung up on me. I called him back directly and started to explain that is unacceptable behavior. He made a rude comment and hung up on me.
Overall a very strange exchange, one that was totally unnecessary and could have been handled like an adult.

We have been customers of Terry’s for over 20 years. Terry is no-​nonsense, fast and efficient. He knows his stuff. If you have a mole problem consider giving Terry a call!

This service is excellent! Terry is very matter of fact and blunt but he gets the job done and do worth it. I have used him the last couple of years. Last year I waited until my yard looked like Caddy Shack before I called. This year the first sign I called him.

New World’s Record. Terry came out to deal with a mole that was tearing up our lawn and our neighbor’s lawn. 10 minutes after the trap was set, the mole was dead. End of story. This man is the only person to call if you are having mole issues.

In a world of shysters, quacks, and film flams, Terry is the real thing. He does what he says, quickly and with a great attitude about what for a lot of people is a stressful situation.
He caught our mole on day one. Boom!
Hire Terry.

You need a mole removed? This is your guy. Don’t bother searching any further. I spent several days on Angie’s List and Unilocal trying to find someone I’d trust to handle the job while a mole continued destroying my lawn. I finally came across Terry and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. He knows exactly what he’s doing and while moles can be pesky and challenging to catch Terry will get the job done and you too will feel the joy of having a post-​it note left on your door «mole caught!»

I moved into a new house in NE PDX last summer, and we were plagued with molehill after molehill. Throughout the fall we repeatedly tried getting rid of them ourselves, including setting our own traps, and never got a single one. They were not active over the winter, but came back with a vengeance in the spring. We wanted to revamp the yard, put in new beds, etc and it’s hard to go to the trouble when it’s just going to get ravaged.
Called Terry of Mole Works last Friday around 10 — he was out at 3:30, set a couple traps and said he’d be back every 5 days or so to check them and reset. I was seeing anywhere from 1 – 3 new hills a day at that point. haven’t seen another one in the week since. The first traps he set caught 2 moles within A DAY! There’s no evidence of any more, but he’s going to keep monitoring for the next few weeks just in case.
I wish I would have called him ages ago!

My front lawn got torn up — I needed help. I tried to do it myself — traps, «light it up and stick it in the hole» things — nothing worked; the front yard was looking more and more like a mine field. It was clear to me that it was time for someone who knew what they were doing to do the job.
I called Terry who stopped by the same day and set his traps. (The agreement is straight forward (you pay and he will get the mole), he was on time, no hustle service.) Four days later — the mole is gone! The job done right! Great service. Thank you Terry!

This guy knows his stuff! We tried all the usual remedies over the last 8 months: electronic ‘thumpers’, smoke bombs, poison pellets, and poison gel. The poison gel seemed to work for about a month. But then the critters were back with a vengeance. My friend Lauretta, had used Terry so we decided this was the way to go. Within 24 hours Terry had trapped one in our yard and one in the neighbors yard. I would have saved a LOT of money, not to mention time and aggravation if I had just started with Terry in the first place. I’ll call him again when the next one comes a callin’. Thanks Terry!

What a great service. I had this huge mole making a terrible mess in my grass. While I feel very sympathetic to this poor creature it was a safety issue with the huge tunnels where I almost sprained my ankle when I mowed. Terry was able to within FIVE minute trap this mole and it was amazing. My neighbor tried for weeks to trap the mole in his yard himself before calling Terry who got his mole relatively quickly too. So our entire neighborhood is a fan of Mole Works.
