Moles might remind you of The Wind In The Willows, but these destructive pests can ruin lawns, grass, flowerbeds and sports fields by digging burrows in search of earthworms to eat. Worms are their primary food source, although they also eat other insects and grubs. In search of food, moles can dig up to 40 metres deep and 70 metres in length, creating a vast network of tunnels.
This might seem harmless, but it can disturb plants and grass on the surface. Moles often tend to make small mounds, known as molehills, which are often seen on the surface, and these can be both unsightly and a trip hazard.
For schools, sports fields and commercial businesses, moles can cause issues on your site and make it unusable. Homeowners often find that garden moles uproot flowers and damage fruits or vegetables that they are trying to grow.

Signs Of Mole Activity
Moles spend almost all of their time underground in their tunnel system and rarely come to the surface, so it can be difficult to tell if you have a mole infestation in your garden or grounds. Here are some common signs of moles:
- Molehills: Moles usually leave small piles of soil on your lawn or in a flowerbed, and this is the most common sign of mole activity.
- Disturbed Plants: If your flowers and plants are being pushed upwards or are struggling to grow, and you can’t find a reason on the surface, then the chances are that the issue is moles tunnelling beneath them and pushing them up by the roots.
- Ridges In Your Lawn: Another sign of mole tunnels is a line of raised bumps or ridges in your lawn, which you may notice getting bigger.
If you think you have a mole problem at your home or business premises, you need to act fast. Moles will breed between February and June, but because they live solitary lives, the young will usually move away to start their own tunnel system.
That’s why moles are a particular problem for the owners of businesses, farms or playing fields, as what starts as one mole could quickly become several moles with multiple tunnels. For fast, effective mole pest control, contact us today.
Let BH Pest Control Deal With Your Mole Problem
Moles are nervous and often avoid people wherever possible. Because their tunnel systems are underground, it can be difficult to find them and then remove them from the earth.
As such, DIY mole control can be challenging. Thanks to our extensive experience in mole control, BH Pest Control is the best choice for homes and businesses across Milton Keynes dealing with a mole infestation.
Using humane mole traps, we’re able to get rid of moles quickly before they create more tunnels and cause further disturbance. Once we’ve caught the moles on your property, we can suggest solutions to help prevent moles from returning, such as installing wire mesh underground to stop them from being able to dig.
Our team can also help with the removal of other common pests, including rodents such as rats and mice, insects such as ants, bed bugs, fleas and cockroaches, and even nuisance birds.
