Keep your lawn free from damage-causing moles with pest control in West Sussex

How moles can cause damage

Moles, those little critters that burrow through your garden, may seem cute and harmless at first glance, but don’t be fooled! These small mammals can cause serious damage to your lawn, garden, and even your home’s foundation. While they may be great at aerating the soil and eating harmful bugs, their tunnelling can create unsightly mounds and destroy your landscaping efforts. And if they happen to burrow too close to your home, they can weaken the foundation and cause costly damage.

So, if you’ve noticed mole activity in your yard, it’s important to take action, with the help of an effective pest control in West Sussex, before they cause even more damage.

 

Here’s how moles can cause damage and what you can do to prevent it.

  • Tunnels – Moles create underground tunnels to search for food, such as earthworms and other insects. These tunnels can make it difficult for plants to establish roots.
    • Prevention: Install physical barriers, such as mesh or wire netting, around the perimeter of your garden. You can also remove any sources of food for moles, such as insect infestations, to discourage them from tunnelling.
  • Mounds – Moles push soil up to the surface as they dig their tunnels, which can create raised ridges and mounds on the surface of your lawn or garden.
    • Prevention – Use traps or repellents, such as castor oil or sonic devices, to discourage them from burrowing in your yard. You can also manually remove the mounds and flatten the soil to prevent moles from returning.
  • Damage to lawn – Moles can damage lawns by tunnelling under the surface, which can create unsightly brown patches and make it difficult to mow.
    • Prevention – Regularly aerate the soil and keep it well-watered to discourage moles from burrowing. You can also use a mole-specific trap to catch and remove the animals from your lawn.

 

Prevention is the best method for avoiding costly lawn damage caused by moles. When doing pest control in West Sussex, it’s important to choose a company that has experience dealing with the specific pests that are common in the area.
