Greenford Mole Control

Moles are a common pest in the UK. They tend to affect homes in the country, but they have been seen to affect urban lawns and gardens. Moles are burrowing mammals which can cause severe damage to lawns and gardens as they burrow. They can travel large distances beneath the ground in a quick time. Moles will also use left behind tunnels to travel, so they could reenter locations that they had previously left. Moles feed on earthworms and other insects that are found 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 may cause severe harm to lawns as they burrow quickly. Molehills can very quickly accumulate and ruin a recently beautiful and well-kept lawn. While a huge amount of molehills can indicate the presence of several moles, it is sometimes the work of a solitary mole.

DIY pest control solutions are available for a mole infestation. These cover anything from snap traps which can 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 effective. However, it can be very difficult to ascertain which tunnels the moles are using, therefore it’s recommended to use an expert mole catcher or pest control company. These specialists will be able to locate which tunnels the moles are using to travel and determine which areas will be most effective for trapping.
