MOLE CONTROL / MOLE CATCHING
HERTFORDSHIRE & BEDFORDSHIRE
Mole Control Hertfordshire – We provide reliable and traditional mole control throughout Hertfordshire to rid you of moles. We use traditional mole trapping methods to control moles as opposed to gassing them as it’s more humane to the mole and reliable.
Moles can quickly create long tunnels under the surface of the earth, the entrances to these tunnels can be identified by the mole hills that appear in garden lawns and flower beds. If you have a problem with moles in your garden or place of work, get in touch with us now to arrange an appointment.
On our initial visit we will survey the grounds and look for mole activity, once complete we will position traps as necessary. These traps will be checked on our second visit where any caught moles will be disposed of and if necessary the traps can be re-set if it seems likely there are more moles that still remain.
IMPORTANT: If you have gardeners, please advise them of the above requirements.
Moles (Talpa europaea) are very common throughout Hertfordshire and the rest of the UK. They are small mammals that are well known for living in tunnels underground. Moles can quickly create long tunnels under the surface of the earth, the entrances to these tunnels can be identified by the mole hills that appear in garden lawns and beds.
Moles are mostly small, dark furred animals and have small eyes with very poor eyesight but are rarely blind despite a life spent mostly in the dark. The most powerful sense a mole has is its sense of smell and so it is important to keep this in mind when placing mole traps. Moles have long, curved claws which they use to burrow underground where they hunt and feed on earthworms. The saliva in the moles mouth contains a toxin which can paralyse small animals such as earthworms. This means the mole is able to eat its catch successfully and also store it to eat later.
The mole doesn’t present any danger to humans and is only considered a pest because they dig under lawns resulting in mole hills. For this reason, moles can be a gardeners worse nightmare but getting rid of moles doesn’t have to be a nightmare. Call us now to arrange an appointment.
