YardGard™ Mole Control Program & Maintenance in Cincinnati, OH
Mole Control Service That Works With Nature Instead of Against It
If you've been searching for a mole control service that actually produces lasting results without putting harsh chemicals into your yard, Greenbush Professional Services LLC has been doing exactly that work across SW Ohio for decades. Moles are a persistent problem on residential lawns throughout the Cincinnati and Dayton areas, and most of the solutions homeowners try on their own, from traps to home remedies to over-the-counter repellents, produce inconsistent results at best. What we've found after years of working on this specific problem is that the most effective approach is one that works with the biology of how moles behave rather than trying to force a quick fix that doesn't hold up past the first season.
The YardGard™ Program: Four Applications Over 300 Days
Our mole control program is built around YardGard, a product we stand behind because it works and because it does the job without creating new problems in the process. The program includes four applications spread over a 300 day period, with time-release pellets applied approximately 75 days apart. That spacing is not arbitrary. It is timed to the way moles move through a territory and how the product maintains its effectiveness in the soil between applications.
The 300 day program covers the full active season and then some, which means you are not getting a short window of results followed by moles returning the moment the treatment window closes. You are maintaining consistent pressure on the mole population in your yard over a period that actually changes their behavior and reduces the damage they do to your lawn.
The Maintenance Program: Keeping Moles Away for the Long Haul
Once the initial 300 day program is complete, our YardGard Mole Control Maintenance Program picks up where it leaves off. The maintenance program includes four applications approximately 90 days apart, continuing the pressure on mole activity in your yard on an ongoing basis.

Here is the honest reality about mole control: moles in SW Ohio do not disappear permanently after a single treatment cycle. The properties that stay mole-free long term are the ones where consistent treatment is maintained after the initial program is done. The maintenance program is how we keep the results from the first program intact rather than watching the mole activity gradually return over the following seasons. It is a straightforward continuation of what the initial program started, and it is the difference between a temporary fix and a long-term solution.
One Hundred Percent Natural: Safe for Pets, Kids and the Animals It Deters
One of the most important things to understand about YardGard is what it is not. It is not a poison. It is not a trap. It is not a product that harms the moles it deters or anything else living in or around your yard. The product is made from all natural ingredients and is specifically formulated to be safe for pets, children, and even the moles it is designed to move out of your lawn.
Our pet safe mole control approach matters to most of the families we work with across SW Ohio because dogs are often the first ones back on the lawn after a treatment visit. With YardGard that is not a concern. There is nothing in the product that creates a risk for animals or children using the yard normally. That is one of the primary reasons we chose this product to build our mole control program around after years of evaluating what actually works in this region.
How Time-Release Pellets Work Underground Over Time
The mechanism behind YardGard is worth understanding because it explains why the program works the way it does and why the application timing matters. The time-release pellets are applied to the lawn surface and work their way into the soil, where they release their active ingredients gradually over the period between applications.
Moles navigate their tunnel systems through a highly developed sense of smell. The natural ingredients in YardGard create an underground environment that moles find inhospitable, encouraging them to move their activity out of the treated area. Because the pellets release their active ingredients over time rather than all at once, the effect is maintained consistently between visits rather than fading quickly after application. There is no odor detectable above ground. No disruption to the lawn surface. Just a gradual, consistent underground deterrent that does its work quietly over the treatment period.
Why Moles Are Such a Persistent Problem in SW Ohio
Moles thrive in the kind of soil conditions that are common across SW Ohio. Loose, moist, well-aerated soil with an active earthworm population gives moles everything they need to establish extensive tunnel systems and breed successfully. The same conditions that make a lawn look and perform well, good soil moisture, healthy organic content, and active soil biology, also make that lawn attractive to moles.
Properties in Mason, Lebanon, Springboro, and the surrounding communities with established lawns and healthy soil are exactly the kind of environment moles move into and stay in. Yards that back up to open fields, wooded areas, or unmaintained land are particularly susceptible because moles can move freely between the natural habitat and the maintained lawn without significant barriers. Understanding why your specific property is attractive to moles is part of how we approach the professional mole removal process.
No Odor, No Harm, No Disruption to Your Yard
One of the practical advantages of YardGard that our customers appreciate most is that there is nothing about the treatment that disrupts normal use of the yard. The pellets go down without leaving any visible residue on the lawn surface. There is no odor above ground after application. No areas of the yard need to be cordoned off or kept off-limits after a visit.
This matters for families with kids using the yard regularly, for homeowners with dogs that spend time outside throughout the day, and for anyone who has had experience with mole control products that left behind a mess or a smell. Our natural mole control approach through YardGard produces none of those problems. You will know we were there because the mole activity in your yard will start to decline. You will not know we were there from anything you can see or smell on the lawn surface.

Questions From SW Ohio Homeowners About Mole Control
My lawn in Mason has mole tunnels running through almost the entire backyard. How long before I start seeing results with the YardGard program?
Mole activity in a heavily tunneled yard like what you are describing in Mason typically begins to decline noticeably after the first two applications, which covers roughly the first 75 to 150 days of the program. The moles do not disappear overnight because the product works by creating an environment they find inhospitable over time rather than by eliminating them directly. Most customers see a clear reduction in new tunnel activity within the first couple of months and significant improvement across the full lawn by the end of the first program cycle. Patience with the process produces better long-term results than a quick-kill approach that doesn't address the underlying behavior.
I have two dogs that spend all day in my Springboro backyard. Are the YardGard pellets safe for them to be around after an application?
Pet safety is one of the primary reasons we chose YardGard as the foundation of our mole control program. The product is made from all natural ingredients and is not harmful to dogs, cats, children, or any other animals that use the yard normally after application. There is no waiting period required before your dogs can be back on the lawn. We would not put a product into family yards that we had any concern about from a pet safety standpoint, and YardGard passes that standard without qualification.
I've tried mole traps in my Lebanon yard for two summers and caught maybe three moles but the tunneling never stopped. Why didn't trapping work and will this be different?
Trapping addresses individual moles but does not address the conditions that make your property attractive to moles in the first place. When one mole is removed from an active territory, another typically moves in within a short period because the tunnel system and the food source are still there. Our mole control treatment works differently by making the environment itself less hospitable to mole activity, which discourages both the existing population and new moles from moving in from adjacent properties. It is a fundamentally different approach to the problem and it produces more durable results than trapping on properties where mole pressure is ongoing.
What is the difference between the initial YardGard program and the maintenance program and do I need both?
The initial program runs for 300 days with four applications spaced approximately 75 days apart. That cycle establishes the deterrent effect and brings the mole activity in your yard under control. The maintenance program follows with four applications spaced approximately 90 days apart on an ongoing basis. You do not have to commit to the maintenance program before completing the initial one, but the honest answer is that properties where maintenance is continued stay mole-free consistently while properties where treatment stops after the initial program often see mole activity gradually return within one to two seasons. We will have a clear conversation with you about what to expect either way so you can make the decision that makes sense for your situation.
My Centerville yard backs up to a wooded area and I feel like moles just keep coming in from the tree line no matter what I do. Can the YardGard program actually hold the line against that kind of ongoing pressure?
Properties that border wooded areas or open land deal with higher mole pressure because there is a continuous population in the adjacent habitat that can move into the maintained lawn. The YardGard program is effective in these situations but the maintenance program is particularly important for properties with ongoing exterior pressure. The consistent application schedule maintains the deterrent effect at the perimeter of the treated area, which is what keeps new moles from establishing in the lawn even when they are active in the adjacent habitat. We work with several properties in Centerville and similar situations across SW Ohio where the maintenance program is the key to keeping the results intact long term.
