St Neots Mole Control

Moles are a typical pest in the UK. They have a tendency to affect homes in the country, but they have been seen to affect urban lawns and gardens. Moles are burrowing mammals which can cause significant damage to lawns and gardens as they burrow. They can travel substantial distances under the ground in a quick time. Moles will also use left behind tunnels to travel, so they may reenter areas that they had previously left. Moles prey on earthworms and other bugs that are in the soil.

Moles leave molehills, which are mounds of earth that protrude from the grass. 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 quickly build up and spoil a recently beautiful and well-kept lawn. While a huge number 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 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 challenging to ascertain which tunnels the moles are using, and so it’s recommended to hire an expert mole catcher or pest control company. These experts will be able to identify which tunnels the moles are using to travel and identify which areas will be most effective for trapping.
