Pudsey sits between Leeds and Bradford with old stone terraces and wider estates, and the gardens on those estates are where molehills tend to show up first.
Stone terraces in a mill town like Pudsey rarely have much lawn, so the typical call is from someone on one of the inter-war or post-war estates, where front and back gardens are larger and the grass runs into neighbouring plots. Moles do not respect fences. One animal can work through several gardens in a season, which is why a single mound never tells the whole story.
We start by looking at where the soil has been pushed up and where the ground feels hollow underfoot. Moles are creatures of the garden rather than the house, so nothing indoors is involved. We explain the lawful ways of removing one, avoid poisons altogether, and give you a free quote that reflects the size of the plot and the visits needed.
Flattening only tidies the lawn. If the animal is still working the tunnel, new mounds appear within days. Another mole can also move into an empty run. Dealing with the animal itself, lawfully, is what changes things, and we can talk through how that works.
Yes. A single mound can be an old one, so we check whether the tunnel is in current use before suggesting anything. Surveys for homes are free, and same-day appointments are available depending on the diary.
