Larger detached gardens in Horsforth give a mole plenty of turf and worms to work with. We can look at the lawn, explain what the mounds mean and give you a free quote.
Horsforth has Victorian stone terraces, inter-war semis and larger detached houses, and the mole question changes with each. A terrace yard may have a border and little more. A detached house with a long lawn is an open invitation, because well-kept turf holds earthworms, and earthworms are what a mole is after, not your plants. Lawn edges beside hedges and borders are the usual starting point.
That is worth knowing, because bulbs and roots are damaged mainly as a side effect of tunnelling, when the soil dries around them. We inspect the lawn, mark the runs that are live, and explain the lawful options. Poison is not part of our advice. Quotes depend on lawn size and visits needed, and the survey itself is free for homes.
Not directly. They feed on earthworms and grubs. Plants suffer when tunnels cut under roots and the soil dries out or collapses. The visible damage is usually mounds, ridges and sunken patches in turf rather than chewed stems.
You can level the hills and watch for new ones, which shows how active the tunnel is. Beyond that, methods must be lawful and humane, and some need experience to use properly. If mounds keep coming, call 0113 347 0014.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
