When are Moles Most Common?
Moles are active all year but are most visible in spring and autumn when they push up fresh molehills. Lawns, paddocks, and gardens across the Cotswolds, including Bourton-on-the-Water, are particularly at risk after rain when the soil is soft.
Signs of a Mole Problem
Fresh molehills of loose soil are the clearest sign. Raised ridges across lawns and disturbed flowerbeds may also indicate tunnelling. Pets often sense mole activity before you see obvious ground disturbance.
Damage and Risks caused by Moles
Moles can ruin the appearance of lawns, damage roots, and create hazards in gardens, paddocks, and playing fields. For local homeowners and landowners, mole activity can quickly turn a tidy outdoor space into an unsightly and uneven area.
When to Call Pest Control
If you see multiple molehills appearing daily or worry about damage to lawns, crops, or paddocks, professional help is essential. DIY methods are often ineffective. A trained local controller can stop the problem before it spreads further underground.
How We Remove Moles
A pest controller will use humane and effective trapping methods to remove moles. The number of visits depends on mole activity—sometimes just one or two, but larger infestations may need longer monitoring. Results are usually quick once control starts.
How to Stop Moles Coming Back
Complete prevention is tricky, as moles are wild animals. However, maintaining well-compacted soil, controlling earthworm populations, and using mole barriers around sensitive areas can help. Regular monitoring by a local controller ensures new activity is dealt with early.
