If you have spent any amount of effort cultivating a lush, green lawn, you know the frustration of waking up to unsightly ridges and mounds tearing through your grass. Enter Chris Wagner, founder of Whack A Mole, LLC—a local business built on old-school service, deep expertise, and a laser focus on solving one of the region’s most stubborn lawn problems.

Born at the naval hospital in Orlando, Florida, to military parents Rod and Virginia Wagner, Chris grew up living a bit of a nomadic lifestyle. His family made stops across Florida, Taiwan, Michigan, and Topeka before eventually settling in St. Louis, where Chris attended Parkway West High School.

That early adaptability fueled a lifelong entrepreneurial spirit. Back in the mid-to-late 1990s, Chris launched a landscaping business alongside close friends Mark Allgeier and Chris Ferguson. In 2003, he expanded his horizons by purchasing a Maui Wowi Coffee & Smoothie franchise. The 2010s brought a pivot into corporate logistics, where Chris managed operations for FedEx and Amazon contractors. However, after years of building up operations for major corporations only to face changing corporate priorities, Chris decided it was time to step away from corporate America for good.

A community connection in 2022 led Chris to a large St. Louis pest control company, introducing him to the subterranean menace known as the mole. Recognizing a distinct need for specialized service, Chris launched Whack A Mole, LLC—a business dedicated strictly to mole removal.

What sets Whack A Mole apart is its total dedication to a single target. By focusing entirely on moles, Chris understands their underground movements far better than general pest control operators. That specialized knowledge translates to an extraordinary 100% catch rate. Whack A Mole primarily relies on proven trapping methods, selectively uses bait when necessary, and even offers live-catch options for clients who prefer a softer touch.

Beyond their field expertise, Chris brings back a standard of customer service that feels rare today. Clients can reach him promptly from 6:00 AM to midnight, seven days a week. "Mole removal is about being consistent and persistent," Chris notes. "100% of those who have worked with Whack A Mole would say we do everything we say we are going to do."

When offering advice to local homeowners, Chris points out a common blind spot in lawn care: "If you are spending money on lawn maintenance, landscaping, fertilizer, and irrigation, but don’t have a plan for yard pests, you don’t have everything you need for a healthy lawn." He also clears up a major misconception: "Grub control does not solve your problem. A mole's primary food source is actually earthworms."

For residents looking to protect their outdoor investments, Whack A Mole offers the most committed and effective solution in the St. Louis region. Check out their glowing customer reviews and reach out today to get your lawn back!
