With the Chevin forest park above and the River Wharfe alongside, Otley has plenty of soft ground. If a lawn or grass area is being dug up, we can look at it.
Otley is a market town where older stone property in the centre gives way to newer housing around, and on the fringes the gardens back onto open ground. The Chevin forest park above the town and the River Wharfe below mean there is plenty of natural habitat close by. Moles do move in from open land into tended lawns, particularly where the turf is damp and worm-rich.
The visit is about reading the garden. We look at where tunnels enter, whether the mounds are fresh and how the ground drains. Because moles are not an indoor pest, nothing happens inside the house. We talk through lawful, humane removal, we do not recommend poison, and the cost depends on the size of the ground and visits needed. Tell us which edge of the garden the mounds are nearest.
Open land and woodland edges are natural habitat, and a mole can travel into neighbouring gardens from there. We cannot tell the origin from a mound alone, but we can see where the tunnel enters your lawn.
Yes, surveys for homes and businesses are free. We look at the ground, explain what we see and give a quote. Cost afterwards depends on size, activity and the number of visits. The survey is not tied to going ahead.
