Mole Control in Fife
Fife is built on some of the richest alluvial soil in Pierce County — the same Puyallup River valley dirt that made this area farming country for a century. That soil is exactly what Townsend's moles are looking for. Got Moles handles Fife properties the same way we handle the rest of the valley: chemical-free trapping, no poisons around kids or pets, work that actually lasts.

Fife sits between Tacoma and Puyallup on the old fertile floodplain that Swiss, Scandinavian, and Japanese farming families worked for generations before the city incorporated in 1957. The commercial and industrial strip along Pacific Highway East gets the attention, but the residential neighborhoods in West Fife, Radiance, and the streets around Dacca Park and Brookville Gardens are where families have quietly settled in and stayed. Hylebos Nature Area and the Levee Pond trail keep a piece of the old valley intact.
Why Moles Thrive in Fife
Fife sits on the Puyallup River floodplain, with deep alluvial soil deposited over centuries of flooding — loose, loamy, and packed with earthworms. The water table stays high across the valley floor, especially in the southern parts of the city closest to the river, which keeps the soil damp year-round. Annual rainfall of 40+ inches combined with the mild marine climate means the ground rarely freezes, so moles work twelve months a year. The Hylebos Creek corridor running through the city adds a secondary moisture source and a natural travel route for moles moving between properties.
Moles in Fife Neighborhoods
West Fife, with its mid-century homes and mature yards along the southern edge of the city, sees consistent mole pressure because the soil here is the softest and wettest — right where the floodplain meets the older residential streets. The neighborhoods around Dacca Park and the Fife Swim Center deal with moles migrating in from the park's irrigated grounds. Properties near Brookville Gardens feel the same pressure because the former farm soil and the park's creek keep earthworm populations high. Newer subdivisions east of the freeway toward the Puyallup border have the added issue of recently graded lots — loose, easy-to-tunnel soil moles establish in quickly. Even homes close to the industrial strip see activity in any patch of maintained green space.

If you're in West Fife or anywhere south of Pacific Highway, expect your worst mole activity in the wetter months — October through April. The high water table here means surface mounds appear faster after rain than in higher-elevation neighborhoods.

Fife Mole Control FAQ
Our yard is small. Is it worth calling for just a few mounds?
Yes. A single Townsend's mole can push up over 200 mounds in a year. On a standard Fife lot that covers your whole yard fast. Early intervention costs less and spares more of the lawn than waiting until the damage is widespread.
The soil in our backyard is basically black — is that why the moles love it?
Exactly. The Puyallup valley floor has some of the deepest, richest alluvial topsoil in the county. That soil supports heavy earthworm populations, and earthworms are the primary food source for Townsend's moles. The same thing that makes your vegetable garden thrive makes your yard attractive to moles.
We're close to Hylebos Creek. Does that make mole problems worse?
It does. Creek corridors keep the surrounding soil consistently moist and act as travel routes for moles moving between properties. Homes within a few hundred feet of Hylebos Creek tend to face more frequent reinvasion than yards farther from the water.
Is mole damage a real problem for new landscaping?
A serious one. Freshly graded and sodded yards are some of the easiest tunneling moles ever find. We've seen new Fife landscaping — thousands of dollars of work — destroyed in a matter of weeks when moles move in before the property is protected.
Are your traps safe around the dog and the kids?
Yes. Every trap is placed underground inside an active tunnel. There's nothing on the surface, nothing that could be stepped on, dug up, or chewed. No chemicals, no poison, nothing that enters the soil around your vegetables.
