South Kirkby, another former mining town, has terraces, post-war estates and open countryside nearby. Moles pass easily between the fields and the gardens.
Open countryside close to housing means constant movement of wildlife in both directions. In South Kirkby the estates and terraces back onto land where moles live naturally. Once a mole has found a lawn with good soil, it may stay for a long while, extending its tunnels a little further each week until the whole garden is marked. That slow spread is why early action helps.
A look at the ground tells us a good deal. We note where the tunnels enter, where the soil is freshest and how the runs link up, and then outline the lawful removal choices. We do not use poison. The job is outdoors only. Fully insured and trained technicians visit, and pricing depends on the plot and visits required, with a free quote.
Often because of the weather. Wet or softening ground makes digging easier and earthworms rise, so the animal pushes up more soil in a short time. The tunnel was probably there for longer than it seemed.
A tunnelled lawn can be uneven and give way underfoot, so watch for soft patches. The animal itself is rarely the concern. Getting the tunnels dealt with lawfully makes the ground safer. Children playing should avoid soft patches.
