Three valleys meet at Todmorden, with stone terraces, former mills and waterside property between hills. Lawns across the town can be dug up by moles.
On the Lancashire border, with hills closing in from every side, Todmorden has gardens at many levels. Some are riverside or canal-side, damp and soft. Others hang on the slopes above. Moles like both, as long as the ground gives them worms and is workable. The town's terraces and former mills leave patches of green between the stonework, and each one is worth a look.
Our visit is a look at the evidence: the mounds, the soft lines of tunnel, the ground conditions. From that we explain how a lawful removal would go and how long it may take, which depends on the plot and the animal. No poison is used, and nothing is done inside. Commercial service contracts are available where a business has grounds to look after.
Earlier is usually easier, because the tunnel system is smaller and the damage lighter. Ring 0113 347 0014 or message on WhatsApp when the first mounds appear and we will advise. Early action keeps the lawn repair small.
Surveys for homes and businesses are free. We give a quote afterwards, which depends on the size of the ground and the number of visits. We would sooner you knew the position before any work is booked, so ask for a quote whenever you like.

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