So how do you catch a Mole?

Moles live underground all year round, but are more active at the surface in damp warm weather. However, they have been blessed with a heightened sense of hearing, smell and movement, so are far more lively in the early hours when most of us are tucked up in bed. This helps explain why the first sign of a mole infestation is usually discovered in the morning when you wake to a garden full of fresh mole hills.

Moles are certainly industrious little creatures, in fact a single mole is capable of digging over 20 meters of tunnel per day, and for the uninitiated, catching the moles at work can be a tricky, time consuming, and often frustrating job.

Depending on the population, there are a number of traditional methods we use for mole removal, most often it's a case of tracking the tunnels and laying traps, however, as registered pest controllers, in certain circumstances, depending on the environment there are a number of other methods that can be used too.

Is professional mole control a long term solution and how many visits will I need?

The number of visits required to catch, remove, and ultimately control moles in any one area is entirely dependant on the population and environment. When working in a domestic capacity in urban environments, just two or three visits may be enough, and whilst nothing can ever be guaranteed, you may remain mole free for many years to come. However, in larger countryside areas, or on agricultural farm land, more visits may be required. It really does depend on the population and the enviromnent. However, you can be sure we will do our absolute best to ensure the moles are removed as humanely and efficiently as possible. In addition, we always take extra measures during the removal process, and provide extensive advice on further action you can take yourself to ensure the chance of their return is kept to an absolute minimum.
