Trusted Mole Control Throughout Doncaster
The Issues Caused By Moles
Moles might seem like sweet little critters, and because they live mostly underground all their lives many humans will never see them. However, when moles make your garden or commercial site their home they can be highly destructive.
Molehills, sometimes called mole hills, are mounds of soft soil that appear at the entrance to mole tunnels. These, along with surface tunnels, can become a trip hazard for you, visitors and livestock. When moles dig underneath lawns, flower beds, tree roots and young plants they can disturb root systems and cause significant damage.
These issues can be annoying in gardens, but they are even worse for commercial sites, such as sports grounds, golf courses, transport hubs, schools and hospitality sites. Because moles dig for food, such as worms, insects and grubs, they can displace huge amounts of soil each day, so it’s vital that you’re proactive and book professional mole control as soon as you see the first indications of moles on your property.

Signs Of A Mole Problem
Because moles live underground, you may not see an actual mole, but some clear signs that you have a mole problem include:
- Molehills: Mounds of loose soil are a classic sign of moles, as they create these molehills at the entrance to their tunnels.
- Disturbed Plants: While digging, moles may disturb plants and push their root systems out, leaving dead or oddly-positioned plants throughout your garden.
- Dead Grass: You may notice patches of dead grass or raised ridges in your lawn while mowing it, which could indicate mole tunnels in your garden.
The Importance Of Professional Mole Control
Getting rid of moles requires expert support, and should never be attempted without the right equipment and experience. DIY mole traps and products may not effectively catch moles, and could make the problem worse by causing them distress and leading to further destruction of your outdoor space.
Don Valley Pest Management uses humane traps and mole control products to ensure moles don’t endure unnecessary suffering, but are quickly caught and dispatched. Our team have worked on a range of sites and know how to capture moles quickly and effectively. For commercial sites, we can also offer ongoing commercial pest control contracts to ensure moles and other vermin don’t cause future issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How Long Does It Take To Control Moles?
The length of a garden mole treatment depends on the extent of the infestation and the size of your garden. Typically, treatments take a few hours to complete, but our experts will provide you with a full timeline prior to starting the work.
Q: Is Mole Treatment Toxic?
At Don Valley Pest Management, we use safe and humane products and methods that are approved for use in gardens with pets and children. Our technicians are trained and licensed to apply these products in a manner that minimises any risk to your family and pets.
Q: What Happens If Moles Return Following Mole Pest Control?

If your mole problem returns soon after treatment, we will come back and perform additional treatments as necessary to fully eliminate the infestation. Our goal is to ensure that our customers are completely satisfied with our garden mole control services.
Q: Is It Possible To Prevent Garden Moles?
While it is hard to prevent moles or any pests, the best tactic is to try to keep the soil moist but not too wet, as moles prefer damp soil for digging. Also, some plants with strong scents, such as daffodils, alliums and others are considered to be natural mole repellents. However, if you notice signs of a mole infestation in your garden, you should be vigilant and immediately call in Don Valley Pest Management for effective solutions to eradicate the moles before they cause considerable damage.
