Selby stands on the River Ouse in flat, low-lying country, with Selby Abbey and older town property at its heart. Lawns around the town can be dug by moles.
Flat, low land has its own character. The soil tends to hold water, earthworms are plentiful and nothing slopes away to change how tunnels run. In Selby, older property near the abbey gives way to later estates, and it is those lawns that attract the attention of a mole. Low ground can also mean tunnels sit in softer soil, collapsing more readily.
Selby is in North Yorkshire, outside West Yorkshire, but we cover it. We read the pattern of mounds, check how wet the ground is and describe the lawful options in plain terms. No poison is involved, and nothing is done indoors. Quotes depend on the plot size and the number of visits. We offer free surveys for homes and businesses.
Moist soil usually means more worms, which is the food. So damp lawns may attract them, although dry gardens get them too. We look at the evidence on the ground. Moisture alone is not decisive.
Yes, we cover Selby and other North Yorkshire towns as well as Leeds and West Yorkshire. Ring 0113 347 0014 with your address and we will arrange a visit. Please say whether it is a home or business address.

A typical visit starts with reading the ground, because where the molehills sit tells us how the tunnels run.
