Safe & effective mole removal with the knowledge & the expertise to provide and carry out a solution that meets your needs.
Moles are a common pest, and they can be a serious nuisance to property owners all over Britain. Known for damaging lawns, gardens and sports grounds, moles dig their tunnels to create unattractive molehills and ridges.
Additionally, their tunnelling process damages the roots of young plants and can leave stones exposed. The exposed stones can cause garden machinery to become damaged, and create a safety hazard as the ground below the surface level can become unstable.
While moles’ natural habitat is woodland, they are comfortable in gardens, pitches, grasslands, bowling greens, or wherever crops grow. If you have a mole problem, call the experts at Vergo Pest Management for efficient service.

Deeper mole tunnels go as far as 40 centimetres underground. The tunnels themselves can’t be seen but molehills will be noticeable because of the amount of soil being cleared as the mole digs. The tunnel areas are usually lined with leaves and grass in order to create a nest.
Moles are most active in the autumn and early spring as they don’t hibernate. This is because they cannot put on body fat and therefore have to eat throughout the winter. They mostly feed on worms and supplement this diet with insects and their larvae as moles need to eat their weight in food every day.
Moles can create a network of tunnels underground, which can lead to the uprooting of plants, damaging roots, and causing plants to wither or die. Their burrowing activity can also leave unsightly ridges and mounds on lawns and fields, affecting aesthetics and potentially interfering with mowing or harvesting equipment.
Look for raised ridges or tunnels of pushed-up soil, particularly in areas with loose, moist soil. Additionally, you may notice surface tunnels or mounds of dirt indicating recent digging activity.
Moles are attracted to areas with abundant food sources such as earthworms, grubs, and insects. They prefer moist, loose soil that is easy to dig through and often thrive in lawns and gardens with these conditions.
Risks include damage to landscaping, gardens, and crops, as well as potential disruption of soil structure and root systems. Additionally, mole tunnels can pose a tripping hazard for humans and livestock.
Yes, there are several species of moles, and while they share similar characteristics, their behavior and habitat preferences may vary slightly.
Prevention methods include reducing the availability of food sources, maintaining a well-drained lawn, and installing barriers to deter moles from burrowing.
Moles are not known to transmit diseases to humans or pets.
Moles are more active in moist soil conditions, so weather patterns such as heavy rainfall may influence their activity levels.
