How can I get rid of Moles?

We can understand why you want to get rid of moles. As their tunnels are often quite close to the surface, or up to 30cms deep, it is quite easy for them to reduce the amount of soil from around plant or grass roots, causing the grass or plants to die.

Often encouraged by the presence of a bountiful population of soil pests, an invasion of moles spells trouble for the gardener or farmer. Their presence can also be a warning that all is not well with your soil quality. And athough moles prefer a meal of insects to your vegetables or plants, it is their underground activities that can destroy your garden or lawn.

Can I tell if I have moles?

When they dig, moles move in a ‘swimming’ motion, using their front claws and legs to burrow through the earth. You can generally see if you have a mole problem, as their tunnelling will leave raised volcano-type piles of soil on the surface of your garden or lawn. Additionally, surface ridges can also occur and will be a good indication of mole activity.

They tend to be most active in the evenings, particularly in the Autumn, when the warmer rain and damper soil provides much encouragement for moles.
