Professional Mole Control Across Lincolnshire

Moles can cause extensive damage to lawns, gardens, sports surfaces, farmland and landscaped areas in a surprisingly short amount of time. Their tunnelling weakens ground structure, damages roots and leaves unsightly molehills across affected land.

At Lincspest, mole control has been one of the foundations of our business for decades. Our reputation for professional mole trapping across Lincolnshire has earned us the nickname “The Moleman” among many of our clients. We provide specialist mole pest control for homeowners, farms, sports facilities, schools, commercial sites and local authorities throughout the county.

Using proven traditional mole trapping methods, we safely and effectively remove moles from gardens, fields, golf courses, paddocks, playing fields and agricultural land without relying on toxic chemicals or fumigants.

We provide mole control services across Lincolnshire including Lincoln, Boston, Horncastle, Skegness, Louth, Market Rasen, Spilsby, Sleaford, Woodhall Spa and surrounding areas.

Why Mole Activity Becomes A Serious Problem

Although moles are not dangerous in the same way as rats or wasps, their underground tunnelling can create major problems for both domestic and commercial landowners.

As moles search for earthworms and grubs beneath the surface, they create extensive tunnel systems that damage lawns, disturb roots and weaken soil structure.

Over time, mole activity can result in:

• damaged lawns and gardens
• sinking or uneven ground
• ruined flower beds
• disrupted grazing land
• contaminated silage
• damaged sports surfaces
• hazards on playing fields and public spaces
• machinery damage caused by soil contamination

Molehills also create significant visual damage to landscaped areas and maintained grounds.

Without professional mole control, activity often spreads quickly across larger areas of land.

Signs You May Have A Mole Problem

In many cases, mole activity becomes obvious very quickly. However, early signs are sometimes overlooked until tunnel systems become extensive.

Common signs include:

• fresh molehills appearing regularly
• raised ridges in lawns or fields
• soft or uneven ground
• damaged turf and root systems
• loose soil appearing overnight
• repeated activity in the same area

Fresh molehills are usually a sign of an active tunnel system beneath the surface.

Moles are solitary animals, but multiple moles may occupy larger areas of land, particularly farmland and rural properties.

Common Areas Affected By Moles

Residential Gardens

Moles frequently damage:

• lawns
• flower beds
• vegetable gardens
• landscaped areas
• patios and borders
• newly seeded lawns

Even a single mole can create extensive surface damage within days.

Sports Grounds And Recreational Areas

We provide mole pest control for:

• golf courses
• football pitches
• bowling greens
• cricket grounds
• school playing fields
• public parks
• race tracks
• airfields

Uneven ground caused by tunnelling creates both safety risks and maintenance problems.

Agricultural Land

Mole activity across farmland can disrupt:

• grazing land
• silage crops
• hay fields
• paddocks
• arable land
• feed production areas

Soil contamination from molehills can damage machinery and reduce crop quality during harvesting.

Agricultural mole control remains an important part of maintaining productive farmland across Lincolnshire.

Understanding Mole Behaviour

Moles spend most of their lives underground, creating complex tunnel systems in search of food. Their primary diet consists of earthworms and soil insects.

Contrary to popular belief, moles do not eat plant roots directly. However, their tunnelling damages root systems and disturbs soil around plants, often leading to dying grass, weakened plants and damaged lawns.

Moles are highly territorial and usually live alone except during breeding season.

Female moles typically produce one litter each year, with young born during spring after a short gestation period. As juvenile moles disperse, new areas of activity often appear during warmer months.

Why Professional Mole Control Is Important

Attempting DIY mole control rarely produces long-term results. Store-bought deterrents, sonic devices and home remedies are usually ineffective against established tunnel systems.

Professional mole control focuses on identifying active runs and using proven trapping techniques to target activity safely and efficiently.

At Lincspest, we use traditional mole trapping methods developed through decades of practical experience across all types of ground conditions.

Benefits of professional mole pest control include:

• accurate identification of active tunnels
• effective traditional trapping methods
• safe treatment without toxic chemicals
• minimal disruption to lawns and land
• discreet service using unmarked vehicles
• ongoing monitoring and follow-up visits

Our experience allows us to work effectively across:

• sandy coastal soils
• heavy clay ground
• gardens and lawns
• sports surfaces
• farmland
• lake and pond edges
• landscaped commercial grounds

Traditional Mole Trapping Methods

Lincspest is proud to use traditional mole trapping techniques rather than relying on fumigation or chemical treatments.

As one of the earliest members of The Traditional Mole Catchers Register, we continue to use proven methods that deliver reliable long-term results across Lincolnshire.

Traditional trapping remains one of the safest and most effective forms of mole control because it:

• directly targets active moles
• avoids unnecessary chemical use
• works across varied soil conditions
• provides reliable long-term results
• reduces repeated surface damage

Our technicians regularly manage large numbers of traps across agricultural and commercial contracts, ensuring thorough coverage of affected areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are moles dangerous?

Moles are not generally dangerous to people, but their tunnelling can create trip hazards, damage lawns and disrupt agricultural land.

Although rare, moles can bite if handled incorrectly.

What attracts moles to gardens?

Moles are attracted to areas with healthy soil containing earthworms and insects. Well-watered lawns and cultivated gardens often provide ideal feeding conditions.

Do mole deterrents work?

Many DIY mole deterrents provide limited or temporary results. Established mole activity usually requires professional trapping for effective long-term control.

How quickly can moles damage a lawn?

A single mole can create significant surface damage within a matter of days, especially during periods of increased tunnelling activity.

Is mole trapping humane?

Professional mole trapping methods are designed to provide fast and effective control while avoiding unnecessary suffering.
