Moles
Are moles turning your lawn into a muddy minefield?
Fresh molehills can quickly turn a well maintained garden into an uneven and damaged landscape.
Valkor provides:
- Targeted mole trapping to tackle active mole activity
- Solutions for gardens, paddocks and larger grounds with treatment options matched to the size of the area
- Ongoing protection options to help manage further activity after the initial problem has been dealt with

When Moles Start Damaging Your Lawn
Moles can move through the ground surprisingly quickly, creating extensive tunnel systems beneath lawns, flowerbeds and larger landscaped areas.
The most obvious signs are fresh molehills, but the disruption happening below the surface can be just as frustrating. Tunnelling can leave areas of ground soft and unstable, disturb plant roots and spoil carefully maintained lawns. Signs include:
-
1
Fresh Molehills
-
2
Uneven Ground
-
3
Lawn Damage
-
4
Disturbed Flowerbeds
How Valkor Tackles Mole Activity
Identifying Active Tunnel Routes
Effective mole control starts with understanding where the current activity is taking place.
Valkor assesses the affected area and identifies the tunnel routes most likely to be actively used.
This allows traps to be positioned strategically rather than simply reacting to each new molehill as it appears.
The assessment may consider:
- Fresh molehills
- Main tunnel routes
- Secondary tunnel lines
- The size of the affected area
- Activity around boundaries
- Damage to lawns and planted areas
Targeted Subterranean Trapping
Once active areas have been identified, reusable subterranean traps are carefully positioned within the tunnel network.
For standard domestic gardens, Valkor uses a structured three visit treatment programme with six traps positioned around active routes.
Larger gardens and paddocks may require traps to be spread across wider and secondary tunnel lines to provide more comprehensive coverage.
The purpose is to tackle the active problem without relying on surface treatments that do not address what is happening underground.
Longer Term Lawn Protection
For larger properties, ongoing management may be appropriate where new moles could move into previously established tunnel systems.
Valkor offers packages with activity warranties for larger gardens and grounds, including boundary trapping for areas up to one acre.
With the premium service, molehills are also professionally flattened during the final visit to help leave the affected area looking tidier once the treatment programme has been completed.
