Moles are a widespread pest in the UK. They have a tendency to affect properties in the country, however they have been seen to have an affect on urban lawns and gardens. Moles are burrowing mammals which can cause severe damage to lawns and gardens as they burrow. They are able to travel considerable distances below the ground in a short space of time. Moles will also use abandoned tunnels to travel, so they could reenter locations that they had previously left. Moles prey on earthworms and other insects that are in the soil.
Moles leave molehills, which are mounds of earth that protrude from the lawn. These molehills are their way of excavating the earth that they dig through. They are able to cause considerable harm to lawns as they burrow rapidly. Molehills can very quickly build up and ruin a recently attractive and well-kept lawn. While a huge amount of molehills can indicate the presence of a group of moles, it may be the work of a solitary mole.
DIY pest control solutions are available for a mole infestation. These vary from snap traps which may be buried into molehills to deterrence methods such as noise emitters. Moles are very sensitive to light and noise so some deterrence methods can be successful. However, it can be very complicated to ascertain which tunnels the moles are using, and so it’s recommended to hire a qualified mole catcher or pest control company. These professionals can locate which tunnels the moles are using to travel and identify which areas will be most effective for trapping.
