Why moles are worth tackling

A single mole can create dozens of molehills and a network of tunnels in a matter of weeks. Left alone, moles can:

  • Ruin lawns, bowling greens, golf courses and sports pitches
  • Create trip hazards for people and horses in paddocks
  • Damage mowers and farm machinery on hidden molehills
  • Contaminate silage with soil, affecting its quality
  • Undermine young plants and vegetable beds

Traditional trapping by an experienced mole catcher is one of the most effective ways to clear moles from your land.

Our process

How our mole catching works

Survey

We walk the land to find the active tunnels and main runs, not just the newest molehills.

Trap

We set traps in the right places and check them regularly until the moles are caught.

Monitor

We keep an eye on the ground and advise on keeping moles from moving back in from neighbouring land.

FAQs

Mole catching FAQs

How long does it take to catch a mole?

It depends on the number of moles and the size of the area. Many gardens are cleared within a few days, while larger paddocks and farmland may take longer.

When is the best time to deal with moles?

Moles are active all year, but activity is most visible in autumn, winter and spring when the ground is soft. The sooner you act, the less damage they do.

Do you catch moles on farms and estates?

Yes. We work with farmers, estates, equestrian yards, golf clubs and sports grounds, as well as homeowners with gardens.

Will more moles come back?

Moles can move in from surrounding land over time. We can advise on monitoring and offer repeat visits for larger or higher-risk sites.
