Mole hills and tunnelling can damage lawns, gardens, paddocks and managed ground. J Alvey Pest Control provides professional mole trapping for domestic gardens and suitable commercial land across our North West operating area. Our family business has worked in pest control since 1979.
Why experience matters
Fresh hills show that soil has been moved, but they do not reveal the complete tunnel system or the number of moles present. Poorly placed or repeatedly disturbed traps can make the work slower. We assess the ground, identify active runs and use professional trapping rather than poison in the garden.
How the domestic service works
The current domestic service normally includes two to three visits. The first attendance is used to assess the activity and set traps in suitable runs. Follow-up visits allow us to check the result and reset or remove equipment. If the activity is more extensive than expected and further visits are needed beyond the included allowance, we will explain the additional charge before continuing.
Do not flatten every fresh hill immediately before the visit unless access or safety requires it, as the recent pattern can help with the assessment. Keep children, pets and other people away from traps and do not move or trigger them.
Gardens, farms and commercial land
Home gardens can use the domestic booking option. Farms, schools, sports grounds, golf courses and larger commercial areas need a separate estimate because the land, access, risk and number of active areas vary. Include the approximate size, ground use, access and where fresh hills are appearing.
Price and booking
The current domestic Square service is £85 for the usual two to three visits. Extra attendance, where genuinely required after the included visit allowance, is charged separately. Commercial land is estimated after the site details have been reviewed. Online appointment times are requests and are checked against the route before confirmation.
Mole-catching FAQs
Do you use poison for moles?
Our mole service uses professional trapping. The traps must not be touched or approached by children or pets.
Can one mole make several hills?
Yes. The number of hills does not directly show the number of moles, which is why we assess the active runs before drawing conclusions.
Can I book work on a school or sports field online?
Contact us first for commercial or education land so that access, site use and risk can be reviewed and an estimate provided.
