Why Choose Pest Assured for Mole Control?
How Our Mole Control Service Works
Our approach is structured, methodical, and designed to resolve mole activity with minimal disruption. The process focuses on accuracy at every stage.
Site Inspection and Activity Assessment
We carry out a detailed inspection to confirm which tunnels are active and how far the issue has spread. Fresh mounds, raised soil, and disturbed ground help us map the movement beneath the surface. This groundwork ensures each action is targeted and effective.
Selection of Safe, Proven Methods
Professional trapping systems are placed precisely along the mapped run lines. Our technicians work neatly and discreetly, setting each trap below the surface with care and accuracy. This method is consistent across all environments, providing dependable results.
Regular Re-Visits to Monitor Progress
We return to monitor trap activity, reset equipment where needed, and track progress until the problem is resolved. Once the site is clear, we provide practical advice to help keep your outdoor space free from future disruption.

Advice to Limit Future Activity
Although no method can fully prevent a mole from travelling underground, practical steps can reduce the likelihood of re-entry. After completing each job, we provide guidance on identifying early signs, maintaining soil structure, and monitoring for renewed disturbance. Early reporting helps avoid widespread damage later.
Signs You May Need Professional Mole Control
Moles can cause noticeable disruption despite remaining out of sight. If you observe any of the following, arranging a professional assessment is advisable:
- New molehills appearing across your lawn or paddock
- Raised soil ridges forming uneven lines on the surface
- Soft or sunken patches where tunnels have collapsed
- Damage to roots, bulbs, or established turf
- General unevenness affecting the look or use of the ground
These signs indicate active tunnelling. Without intervention, moles continue to spread underground in search of food. Early action helps prevent wider disturbance and keeps your outdoor areas stable and safe.
Mole Control for Homes, Farms, and Commercial Land
Different locations present different challenges. Our team adapts the process depending on the site size, surface type, risk level, and how frequently the area is used.
Domestic Gardens
For homeowners, moles can quickly spoil lawns and flowerbeds. We use quiet, unobtrusive methods that keep disruption to a minimum while providing consistent results. Follow-up visits ensure the entire garden is clear before completion.
Agricultural and Rural Land
Paddocks, fields, and smallholdings often experience greater ground impact. Moles can undermine livestock areas and damage machinery routes. Our technicians work methodically across large areas, marking and monitoring tunnels from one visit to the next.
Commercial Grounds
Sports fields, holiday parks, nurseries, and landscaped venues require reliable upkeep. Uneven ground can present safety issues or spoil the appearance of maintained areas. We provide flexible scheduling to support groundskeepers and site managers.
The Problems Caused by Untreated Mole Activity
While moles themselves do not feed on plants, the disruption they cause can have significant consequences for soil, turf, and roots. Raised tunnel systems destabilise the surface, allowing weeds to take hold and making lawn care more difficult. Over time, the ground may become uneven, requiring repair and levelling. In agricultural settings, mole ridges can also contribute to tyre damage on equipment.
Addressing the issue early limits this knock-on damage and avoids a wider spread of activity. Our service focuses on removing the current source while offering guidance on maintaining surrounding soil conditions.
