Mole removal costs $100 to $550 for most homeowners, with Angi and HomeAdvisor both publishing a $400 national average.1,2 Fixr publishes the same $400 national average, for trapping and removing a medium infestation, within a $300 to $500 range, from a guide updated in January 2025.3 Prices below are national averages*.
*National averages, not local quotes. Angi figures are from a 2026 guide updated October 2026, HomeAdvisor figures are from a 2025-data guide updated June 2026, and Fixr figures are from a guide updated January 2025. Your price depends on the number of moles, the removal method, and where the moles are located.
Safety note: the National Pesticide Information Center says mole and gopher baits often contain zinc phosphide, which is highly toxic to dogs, cats, livestock, and people, and that dogs and other animals are attracted to the bait’s smell. It advises keeping pets away from treated areas, storing bait where pets and children cannot reach it, and calling Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 if a child may have handled or eaten bait.4

What the sources say
| Source | Headline figures | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Angi (updated Oct 2026) | $400 national average; professional yard mole removal $100 – $550 total; $50 – $80 per mole | Also publishes per-visit rates of $40 – $80 and an average $100 trap set-up fee |
| HomeAdvisor (2025 data, updated Jun 2026) | $400 average; same $100 – $550 normal range; same $50 – $80 per mole | Corporate sibling of Angi – matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration. Combined guide covering gophers and moles |
| Fixr (updated Jan 2025) | $400 national average to trap and remove a medium infestation; average range $300 – $500; low-end $50 (a single mole treated with poisoned bait); high-end $750 (a large infestation treated through fumigation, removal, and lawn repairs) | Average covers a defined job scope |
The sibling pair publishes identical headline figures, presented as published. Fixr’s $400 average matches the sibling average; these are separately published figures, and the pages state no shared sourcing. Fixr’s range is older (January 2025) and covers a defined job scope, so it is presented separately.
Cost by removal method
Angi and HomeAdvisor publish matching per-method figures; Fixr prices its methods per one-time visit or per trip, so the rows are not compared directly.1,2,3
| Method | Cost | Source and scope |
|---|---|---|
| Poisonous bait | around $50 | Angi / HomeAdvisor |
| Poisonous bait, per trip | $50 – $100 | Fixr (2025), per-trip fee |
| Trap-and-release | $200 – $500 | Angi / HomeAdvisor |
| Trapping, one-time visit (small-to-medium infestation) | $200 – $500 | Fixr (2025) |
| Fumigation | around $250 | Angi / HomeAdvisor |
| Fumigation, one-time visit | $200 – $500 | Fixr (2025) |
The matching Angi/HomeAdvisor figures come from corporate siblings and are presented as published. Trapping prices break down into a set-up fee plus a per-mole charge:
| Component | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Trap set-up | $75 – $150 | HomeAdvisor and Fixr (2025), matching figures |
| Removal, per mole | $50 – $80 | Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Fixr (2025), matching figures |
| Average trap set-up fee | $100 | Angi |
The matching set-up and per-mole figures are separately published across different owners, and the pages state no shared sourcing. Angi’s $100 average set-up fee sits inside the $75 – $150 range the other two publish.
Cost by infestation size
Fixr (2025) prices by infestation size: a small infestation is 1 to 2 moles, a medium one a family, and a large one 2 to 3 families.3
| Infestation size | Cost per treatment (Fixr, 2025) |
|---|---|
| Small (1–2 moles) | $50 – $300 |
| Medium (one family) | $300 – $500 |
| Large (2–3 families) | $400 – $750 |
Cost by location
Angi and Fixr publish matching per-location figures; these are separately published figures, and the pages state no shared sourcing. HomeAdvisor’s combined guide does not publish per-location figures.1,3
| Mole location | Removal cost (Angi and Fixr, matching figures) |
|---|---|
| Yard | $50 – $200 |
| Basement | $200 – $350 |
| Garage | $200 – $350 |
| Bathroom | $300 – $450 |
| Kitchen | $300 – $450 |
| Attic | $400 – $500 |
Recurring service contracts
For recurring infestations, both Angi and Fixr publish annual contract prices, with matching figures: Fixr scopes its table as cost per year with a contract, and Angi also describes monthly visits at around $600 per year.1,3
| Visit frequency | Cost per year (Angi and Fixr, matching figures) |
|---|---|
| Once per year | $250 – $500 |
| Seasonal (Fixr) / biannual (Angi) | $400 – $650 |
| Quarterly | $500 – $750 |
| Monthly | $600 – $1,200 |
The two pages label the second row differently (seasonal at Fixr, biannual at Angi) while publishing the same figures; these are separately published figures, and the pages state no shared sourcing.

Repairing mole damage
Mole tunneling can tear up lawns, sprinklers, and plant roots, so many homeowners budget for repairs after removal. Figures differ between publishers on reseeding and sprinkler repair; the sources don’t explain the differences, so those rows are not compared directly.1,2,3
| Repair | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Lawn reseeding | $400 – $1,600 | Angi / HomeAdvisor |
| Lawn reseeding | $700 – $1,800 | Fixr (2025) |
| Lawn repair (aeration, filling tunnels, fertilizing) | up to $600 | Angi |
| Lawn repair | $100 – $600 | Fixr (2025) |
| Sprinkler repair | around $250 | Angi / HomeAdvisor |
| Sprinkler damage repair | $100 – $400 | Fixr (2025) |
| Tree replanting, per tree | $150 – $2,000 | Angi and Fixr (2025), matching figures |
| Lawn aeration | $80 – $250 | Fixr (2025) |
| Lawn fertilization | $200 – $500 | Fixr (2025) |
| Foundation repair | $5,000 – $10,000 | Fixr (2025) |
| New plants | from $1,000 | Angi |
The matching tree-replanting figures are separately published across different owners, and the pages state no shared sourcing.
Cost by removal company
Fixr (2025) publishes per-company figures for two national providers, both for a one-time visit.3
| Company | Removal cost (Fixr, 2025) |
|---|---|
| Orkin | $300 – $500 |
| Terminix | $400 – $600 |

HomeAdvisor’s combined guide prices gopher trapping at $300 – $500 and vole extermination at $500 – $600 (a $150 – $250 inspection plus a follow-up treatment around $350).2 Fixr prices vole removal at $500 – $700.3 The vole figures differ between publishers; the sources don’t explain the difference, so they are not compared directly.
