Expert Garden Mole Removal

Moles can cause extensive damage to lawns, gardens, sports turf, and agricultural land. Their tunnelling creates unsightly molehills, damages root systems, and can undermine paths and driveways. Even a single mole can cause significant disruption - one animal may weigh just 8 ounces but can tunnel up to 18 feet per hour.

JG Pest Control provides professional mole trapping using humane, approved methods. Family-run since 2010, our RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 Certified Techs have 15+ years of experience identifying active tunnels and placing traps for effective, guaranteed results.

Signs You Have Moles

MolehillsMounds of fresh soil appearing on your lawn, often in a line following an underground tunnel
Raised RidgesVisible raised lines across your lawn where shallow tunnels run just below the surface
Sinking TurfAreas of lawn that feel soft or collapse underfoot where deeper tunnels have been dug
Damaged PlantsPlants wilting or dying as roots are disturbed or exposed by tunnelling - moles do not eat roots but the tunnels undermine them
Rapid SpreadNew molehills appearing daily, indicating active tunnelling. Moles tunnel up to 18 feet per hour so damage spreads fast
Stones on SurfaceStones pushed to the surface by tunnelling, creating hazards for mowing

Understanding Mole Behaviour

Moles are insectivores, not rodents as is commonly believed. They prefer to eat grubs and other small insects, but their primary food source is the earthworm. They are originally wetland and woodland creatures that have been forced into human territory by the eradication of their natural habitat.

If you have ever wondered why you have a mole problem, it may be because you water your garden well, especially the lawn. Beneath that well-kept grass, you have also provided moist earth conditions for the creatures to tunnel through - and the humble earthworm prefers soggy soil too.

The extensive tunnel systems they create make moles extremely difficult to eradicate if the problem is not detected at the earliest stage. This is why professional trapping by experienced technicians is essential for effective mole control.

Our Mole Removal Process

Do You Need Mole Removal?

  • You can usually tell by the damage to your lawn or plants

  • The tunnel system can be extensive, making DIY approaches ineffective
