Moles are a frequent pest in the United Kingdom. They have a tendency to affect homes in the country, but they have been known to have an affect on urban lawns and gardens. Moles are burrowing mammals which can cause serious damage to lawns and gardens as they burrow. They can travel large distances beneath the ground in a quick space of time. Moles will also use deserted 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 stick up from the grass. These molehills are their way of excavating the earth that they dig through. They can cause serious damage to lawns as they burrow rapidly. Molehills can very quickly build up and damage a recently attractive and well-kept garden. While a big quantity of molehills can indicate the presence of several moles, it may be the work of a solitary mole.
DIY pest control solutions are available for a mole infestation. These cover anything from snap traps which are 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 challenging to determine which tunnels the moles are using, therefore it’s recommended to use a qualified mole catcher or pest control company. These professionals can identify which tunnels the moles are using to travel and identify which areas will be most effective for trapping.
