Moles are a frequent pest in the UK. They often affect houses in the country, however they have been known to have an affect on urban lawns and gardens. Moles are burrowing mammals which can cause significant damage to lawns and gardens as they burrow. They are able to travel large distances beneath the ground in a quick space of time. Moles will also use left behind tunnels to travel, so they may 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 are able to cause substantial harm to lawns as they burrow quickly. Molehills can quickly build up and damage a recently beautiful and well-kept garden. While a large amount of molehills can indicate the presence of several moles, it may be the work of a solitary mole.
DIY pest control options are available for a mole infestation. These range from snap traps which are buried into molehills to deterrence methods such as noise emitters. Moles are incredibly sensitive to light and noise so some deterrence methods can be successful. However, it can be very complicated to find out which tunnels the moles are using, and so it’s recommended to hire a qualified mole catcher or pest control company. These specialists will be able to identify which tunnels the moles are using to travel and determine which areas will be most successful for trapping.
