Mole Problems in Stamford, The Deepings & Peterborough: What You Need to Know

If you're noticing fresh molehills on your lawn, paddock, or farmland, you're not alone. Moles are a common issue across Stamford, The Deepings, Peterborough and the surrounding countryside. While small and rarely seen, these underground pests can cause surprising amounts of damage in a short space of time.

At MB Pest Control, we provide professional mole control services throughout the region, using proven trapping methods that are safe, effective, and tailored to your property.

What Are the Signs of a Mole Problem?

The most obvious sign is the appearance of molehills – piles of loose soil pushed up to the surface as moles dig their extensive tunnel systems. You might also notice:

• Raised ridges in lawns or fields

• Damaged roots or disturbed turf

• Poor soil structure in gardens or paddocks

• Uneven ground, making it dangerous for horses or machinery

Moles are solitary and territorial, but just one mole can produce dozens of molehills in a week. The longer the problem is left, the more complex their tunnel system becomes.

Why Do Moles Cause Problems?

While moles don’t eat plants or crops, their tunnelling can:

• Destroy the appearance of lawns and gardens

• Disrupt roots of grass and plants

• Create tripping hazards in paddocks or fields

• Damage machinery if soil gets into engines or equipment

• Reduce the value or usability of agricultural land

For landowners, gardeners, equestrian properties and sports grounds, fast and effective mole control is essential.
