Moles are generally not harmful to humans or pets, but their digging habits can cause significant damage to your lawn and garden. Their tunnels can ruin the aesthetic of your yard, create uneven surfaces, and even harm the roots of your plants. In some cases, if left unchecked, mole activity can lead to a complete loss of grass and plants in affected areas.

If you prefer a more eco-friendly approach, there are several natural methods to try before calling in a professional.

One of the most common natural mole repellents is castor oil. It has a strong scent that moles find unpleasant, and it can be an effective deterrent. Mix castor oil with water and spray it over your lawn or garden, particularly in areas where you’ve noticed mole activity. Repeat the application every few weeks for the best results.

Certain plants can naturally repel moles. For example, garlic, lavender, and daffodils are known to discourage moles from entering your garden. Planting these around the edges of your lawn or garden can act as a natural barrier to keep moles away.

Ultrasonic mole repellers emit high-frequency sounds that are undetectable to humans but uncomfortable for moles. These devices are typically powered by solar energy and can be placed in the ground to deter moles from burrowing. While the effectiveness of these devices can vary, they are a chemical-free way to attempt mole control.

If you have a few active mole tunnels, flooding them with water can be an effective way to drive the moles out. Simply use a hose to flood the tunnels, and the moles will typically move to another area in search of dryer ground. This method works best when the soil is soft and moist.

If natural solutions aren’t enough or if your mole problem is too widespread, professional garden mole removal may be necessary. At Pest Solutions Peterborough, our team of experts can assess the situation and implement effective, long-lasting solutions for mole control.

Professional mole removal often involves setting up traps to capture moles. Our team will strategically place traps in areas where mole activity is most prominent, ensuring a quick and humane resolution to the problem.

In some cases, we may use tunnel blockers to seal off mole entrances and prevent further damage. This involves blocking the tunnels with materials that moles find difficult to burrow through, effectively pushing them out of your garden.

Our specialists have access to a range of professional-grade repellents and treatments that are more potent than typical DIY products. These treatments are designed to target moles and drive them away without causing harm to your garden or the environment.

Mole removal doesn’t end with the capture and relocation of moles. Our team also offers advice on how to prevent future infestations, including soil maintenance, ongoing monitoring, and setting up preventative barriers.
