Mole control is the professional trapping and removal of moles often using scissor traps. We provide expert mole catching services across Wrexham, Flintshire, and the Dee Valley.
The common mole (Talpa europaea) is widespread in rural and semi-rural areas around Wrexham. Moles rarely enter buildings but cause significant damage to lawns, sports pitches, farmland, and paddocks. A single mole can excavate up to 20 metres of tunnel per day. Mole activity increases in spring and autumn.

Common Questions About Moles in Wrexham

What are the signs of moles in your garden?

Look for fresh molehills (mounds of loose soil appearing overnight), ridging of lawns from shallow tunnels, subsidence of paths or sports pitches, and repetitive mole activity despite previous deterrent attempts.

What damage do moles cause?

Moles rarely present health risks but cause extensive, costly damage. On farmland and paddocks, molehills contaminate grass silage with soil bacteria, which can cause Listeriosis in cattle and sheep, which can be fatal. On sports turf, they create uneven, dangerous surfaces. In gardens, tunnelling disturbs plant roots and kills lawn areas.

How do you get rid of moles?

The most effective and humane method is professional trapping. We use scissor and dagger traps set in active runs, identified by probing. Treatment typically requires multiple visits. Repellent devices and sonic deterrents provide only temporary results and are not recommended as standalone solutions.
