Moles are a rare sight and for many of us we will go through our whole lives not seeing them or being affected by their disruptive digging. Moles can cause extensive damage to lawns, fairways, sports grounds, and formal gardens as they create complex tunnelling systems underground leaving behind unsightly molehills. If your once beautifully landscaped lawn has become subject to a mole infestation give us a call today, we are able to stop these skilful excavators in their tracks before they leave you with no lawn!

Prevention

Sadly, there is not much you can do to prevent a mole infestation. For most pests making the conditions inhospitable and removing their food source normally prevents an infestation, but for moles it would be impossible to remove their food source (worms, larvae, grubs), as worms are needed for the work they do to keep our soil nice. For some pests it is possible to effectively proof your property to block any entry points, but this again would not be easy for moles as you would need to dig up your grounds which would be costly. Moles are known to run away if they hear loud noises and vibrations which may be something to consider if you have frequent infestations and the resources available to do so.

 

If your home or business has been subjected to a mole infestation it is important to call in a professional to ensure a swift removal of the mole before they create further damage. Here, at Defender Pest Control we have a 100% success rate in mole removal using the most trusted and time efficient techniques.

We asked Tom to quote to replace plastic bird spikes with more robust ones. The originals were installed by a roofer who had rebuilt our chimney following 4 years of gulls nesting on it. Tom came out quoted and one week later arrived as planned to fit the spikes. He has done this with no mess and no fuss.
Absolutley brilliant job and highly recommended

Tom and Tom came out this morning to fit bird mesh around my solar panels. Pigeons nesting underneath had become a real pest, and the noise and mess were an increasing nuisance. Tom came out to view and gave me a reasonable quote on the spot. The work was completed in a morning, and the site left completely clean and tidy. Would recommend this company wholeheartedly. Thanks Tom!

Highly recommended. Professional, quick and effective. Tom came out quickly and did exactly what he said he was going to do. Now the scratching noises in my loft have gone, and my unwelcome visitor is in mouse heaven.

We contacted Defender Pest Control when squirrels invaded our loft and refused to leave.
We could not have received a better service. When all the squirrels were removed, Defender also blocked the gaps in the roof to stop the problem from recurring. The cost was very reasonable and we were also very impressed with Tom’s professional and caring attitude. All appointments made were confirmed there and then, all the visits made on schedule, but most importantly we had the reassurance that Defender’s help would be available until the problem was fully solved.
Tom, Tom and Andy, thanks again, we can’t fault your service and we will not hesitate to strongly recommend you to anyone.

I have used the Defender team on a couple of occasions over the past year meeting both Tom & Liam. They are a really professional crew - smartly dressed in Defender attire always wearing footwear protectors when entering the house. They are very polite and really informative - telling you what they are doing and why. They always turn up when they say they will and also send a text to remind you that they will be with you in ‘next ten minutes’  I would recommend them without question ….1st class service.

Moles Biology

Moles have a short cylinder shaped body and are grey/black in colour. They have a 6 inch body with a 1 inch tail, spade like feet, and a pink snout. Moles use their two front paws to dig away at the earth creating tunnels, they then use their snouts and whiskers to feel around these tunnels. Interesting fact moles can dig up to 40 foot in depth!

 

Moles breeding season tends to run from February to June and there are usually 3-4 moles per litter and their nests are underground. Besides this breeding period moles tend to live a fairly solitary life, so it is likely that the damage to your grounds has been caused by one singular mole.

 

They are carnivorous creatures feeding on invertebrates (worms, grubs, and larvae) that fall into their tunnels. Moles have very poor eyesight which is due to the absence of light in their preferred living conditions. Their favourability to darkness is one of the main reasons why we rarely see them as they prefer to stay underground.

 

If moles have invaded the grounds surrounding your home or business, you may be wondering why. The main reasons why moles venture into the human environment is that they have found a regular food supply of their favourite foods. Moles will not enter your property, but they can cause damage to the foundations of your property if they are left untreated for a prolonged period of time.

 

Moles can cause considerable damage to the land surrounding your property with their extensive digging- they can make the ground unstable. It is also important to control a mole infestation as their molehills can damage garden maintenance equipment. 

Signs of a Mole Infestation.

Unlike other pests, we rarely see moles, but if you have an infestation, you will definitely know about it! Some of the common tell-tale signs are:

  • Excavated soil around your grounds (molehills).
  • Raised ridges around an opening in the ground.
  • Uneven ground.
  • Disruption to your roots, plants and seedlings around your garden, flower beds and vegetable plots.
