The wildlife control specialist now offers comprehensive mole and vole removal services to homeowners in Lugoff and Elgin, addressing a critical need for specialized pest management in South Carolina's expanding communities.

Columbia, SC, South Carolina, United States, June 2, 2025 -- Wild Thingz Wildlife Removal today announced the expansion of its service offerings to include specialized mole and vole control while simultaneously extending its service area beyond Columbia to include Lugoff and Elgin, South Carolina. This strategic growth responds to increasing demand for professional wildlife management solutions in these rapidly developing communities where destructive underground pests create significant property damage for homeowners.

"We've seen a substantial increase in calls about underground pest damage in recent months, particularly in Lugoff and Elgin where residential development continues to intersect with wildlife habitats. By expanding both our service territory and specialized offerings, we're providing a comprehensive solution that directly addresses the unique challenges these communities face."

Addressing Critical Property Damage Issues

Moles and voles represent some of the most challenging wildlife control issues for property owners, creating extensive damage that extends beyond mere cosmetic concerns. Moles create distinctive tunnels and molehills throughout yards, damaging landscapes and causing unsightly mounds that ruin curb appeal. Voles, often mistaken for mice, can cause significant damage to gardens, flower bulbs, and even girdle tree bark, potentially killing valuable ornamental plants.

The destruction caused by these underground pests can severely impact property values and require expensive landscape restoration. Particularly in developing communities like Lugoff, with a 2025 population of approximately 17,081, and Elgin, with a 2025 population of 2,951, homeowners frequently encounter these issues as construction continues to expand into previously undeveloped areas.

Specialized Removal Techniques

Wild Thingz Wildlife Removal's expanded service implements scientifically validated approaches to mole and vole management, focusing on trapping as the most effective control method-a technique confirmed by Rutgers University as the optimal solution for mole problems.

"Unlike general pest control companies that often rely on poisons or repellents for mole and vole issues, we employ specialized trapping methods that have been proven most effective for permanent removal. Our approach aligns with South Carolina Department of Natural Resources guidelines for wildlife control, ensuring both effectiveness and compliance with state regulations."

The company's comprehensive mole and vole control services include:

• Professional property assessment to identify active tunnels and damage patterns
• Strategic placement of specialized traps in active tunnel systems
• Implementation of underground barriers for sensitive landscape areas
• Lawn and sod repair services to restore damaged areas
• Preventative measures to reduce future infestations

Meeting Growing Regional Demand

The expansion into Lugoff and Elgin represents a strategic response to the growing populations in these communities. According to recent demographic data, Lugoff experienced steady growth, with its population reaching 17,081 in 2025, while Elgin grew to 2,951 residents in the same period.

"These communities are experiencing meaningful growth, with many new homeowners encountering wildlife challenges for the first time. By establishing a dedicated presence in these areas, we can provide faster response times and more specialized service to residents dealing with mole, vole, and other wildlife issues."

The company's decision to focus on mole and vole removal specifically addresses a gap in current wildlife management offerings in these communities. While many general pest control companies serve the area, specialized wildlife removal focusing on underground pests requires different expertise and equipment.

Community-Focused Approach

Wild Thingz Wildlife Removal emphasizes education and prevention as part of its expanded service offering. The company will conduct free community workshops in both Lugoff and Elgin during May and June to help homeowners identify early signs of mole and vole activity and understand preventative measures.

"Many homeowners don't recognize the early warning signs of underground pest activity until significant damage has occurred. Our goal is to help residents understand what to look for and when to call professionals, potentially saving them thousands in landscape repair costs."

The company has also established partnerships with local landscaping companies in both communities to provide comprehensive restoration services for properties with extensive mole or vole damage.
