Why You Need Professional Mole Control in Glasgow
Moles are not aggressive and you rarely see them, but the damage they cause can be frustrating. The problem is not the animal itself, it is the tunnelling.
As they search for worms, they push up molehills and create raised ridges. That damages turf, weakens roots and leaves lawns uneven. In some cases it can even affect patios or the edges of drives.
In Glasgow and East Kilbride, our damp ground gives them ideal conditions. Once a mole settles in, the tunnel system can spread quickly.
DIY traps often fail because they are set in the wrong place or in inactive runs. If it is not handled properly, activity continues and the damage grows. Acting early keeps it simpler and prevents the lawn becoming harder to repair.
- Raised ridges running across the lawn
- Soft or spongy areas underfoot
- Uneven ground when mowing
- Damage spreading gradually across one section
Fresh molehills are darker and loose. Older ones dry out and flatten. If new piles keep appearing in different spots, that usually means active tunnelling.
Unlike rats or mice, you will not see droppings on the surface. Moles stay underground. If you are unsure whether it is mole activity or something else, we can confirm during a survey.
