Professional Mole Trapping In Altrincham

Moles are small mammals adapted to living underground, where they forage for worms and other small invertebrates. They are widespread throughout Britain, and the species most often encountered in urban areas is the common mole (Talpa Europaea). These territorial animals use their robust and shovel-like front limbs to create an extensive network of tunnels through the soil where they live alone or in a family group. As a result, they become a problematic pest when they move into public or private lawns, gardens, and sports grounds, necessitating efficient Altrincham mole trapping and control.

The trouble with molehills

The most visible sign of mole infestation – the unsightly molehills – can appear any time of year, though most often, this happens in late winter or spring when the moles are most active. The molehills are how the moles remove the excavated soil from the tunnels. Moles can burrow up to 100 meters per night, and many molehills can appear surprisingly quickly. Furrows may also occur if heavy rain causes tunnels running close to the surface to collapse. Due to the speed at which the moles can create tunnels, it’s a good idea to arrange for Altrincham mole trapping and control at the first sign of trouble. Simply dealing with the molehills as they appear will not help.
