Moles can seem harmless at first — after all, who doesn’t like a garden creature? But when molehills and tunnels start appearing across your lawn, flower beds or grounds, they can quickly become a serious pest issue. Their constant burrowing damages turf, ruins landscaping and creates trip hazards — especially on sports fields, public spaces and maintained gardens.
At Bite Back Pest Control, we offer professional mole control services across Yorkshire for both residential and commercial properties. Our trained technicians use proven methods to remove moles safely, effectively and responsiblyand restore your outdoor space to its best condition.
Moles spend almost all their time underground, so you might not see the animal itself. But the signs of their activity are unmistakable:
Fresh molehills — small, loose soil mounds pushed up from burrows
Raised ridges or tunnels just under the surface
Soft or spongy ground when walking on affected areas
Uneven lawns and disturbances to plant roots
Soil displacement bringing debris to the surface
Even a single mole can create an extensive network of tunnels, meaning damage can multiply quickly if not treated.
While moles primarily feed on earthworms and soil invertebrates, their tunnelling behaviour can lead to:
Unsightly lawns and garden damage
Weak ground that is dangerous for pedestrians and children
Tripping hazards and unstable turf
Disruption to landscaping and planted areas
Challenges for maintained grounds such as golf courses or parks
Mole activity left untreated can affect the usability, safety and appearance of outdoor spaces — which is why prompt action is so important.
1. Thorough Site Inspection
We start with a detailed survey of your property to:
Identify active mole runs and the extent of tunnelling
Locate entry and activity zones
Assess the scale of the problem before treatment
This helps us build a tailored mole control plan for best results.
2. Professional Mole Removal
We use effective, humane and legal mole control methods, including:
Targeted trapping techniques placed in active tunnels
Specialist equipment designed to control mole activity
Expert placement and monitoring to maximise success
Our approach focuses on safe, responsible mole eradication that protects your land and complies with UK wildlife guidelines. newmarketpestcontrol.uk
3. Follow-Up & Prevention
After treatment, we:
Check for fresh signs of activity
Advise on ways to reduce future mole problems
Offer follow-up visits where required
This ensures your garden or grounds stay mole-free longer.
Q: Are moles dangerous?
Moles themselves are not aggressive or harmful to humans, but their burrowing can destabilise turf, create trip hazards and damage gardens if left unchecked.
Q: Can I remove moles myself?
DIY solutions often fail because moles tunnel extensively and are difficult to intercept. Professional techniques are usually the most effective and humane option.
Q: Do you use poisons?
We use safe, humanely managed methods in line with best pest control practice. Poisons are not recommended due to wildlife, pet and environmental risks.
Q: How long does control take?
Treatment time varies depending on activity level and area size — a survey identifies the right method and expected timeline.
