Looking for a mole catcher? We trap moles in gardens, paddocks, sports grounds and farmland across South Lincolnshire, and deal with rabbits too.
Moles
Mole numbers have risen across much of the UK in recent years, helped by wet, mild winters and plenty of food. They now turn up in places that never had a problem before: gardens, grass verges, playing fields and bowling greens.
Moles live alone in a network of tunnels at different depths, some just under the surface and some much deeper. At the first unfamiliar smell or vibration, a mole retreats into the deeper runs, which is why they are so hard to catch.
How we control moles
Trapping is the main method. Traps have to be placed in an active run and handled so they carry no human scent, which is where experience makes the difference. Shop-bought traps can work, but success is never guaranteed. Our technicians are also trained in aluminium phosphide fumigation, which can be used where it is suitable.
Rabbits
Rabbits damage crops, gardens, young trees, sports pitches and grazing land, and their burrows can undermine banks, footpaths and building foundations. A small number can quickly become a big problem, because rabbits breed for much of the year.

Under the Pests Act 1954, occupiers of land in England have a duty to control rabbits on their land. If rabbits from your land are damaging a neighbour's crops or property, you can be required to deal with them.
