Mole Control
Mole Control Services
We provide professional mole control for gardens, lawns, commercial grounds and rural properties across Yorkshire. Our team inspects the affected areas, identifies active mole runs, and applies suitable control methods to deal with the problem efficiently.
We also advise on monitoring and prevention where possible to help reduce ongoing ground damage. Whether moles are affecting lawns, gardens, fields, sports grounds, paddocks or landscaped areas, we provide an effective solution with minimal disruption and long-term protection in mind. Every service is tailored to the site and the level of mole activity found.
Signs You Have a Mole Problem
✓ Molehills – Fresh piles of soil across lawns or gardens
✓ Raised tunnels – Soft or uneven ground lines under the turf
✓ Damaged grass – Disturbed lawn surfaces and bare patches
✓ Plant stress – Roots affected by underground movement
✓ New soil mounds – Repeated molehill activity in the same area
Why Mole Problems Demand Professional Control
Understanding Mole Behaviour:
- Tunnel systems – Moles create underground tunnels while searching for food
- Lawn damage – Molehills can spoil turf, gardens, and landscaped areas
- Root disturbance – Tunnelling can affect plant roots and soil structure
- Ongoing activity – New molehills often appear until the active tunnel is controlled
Professional Mole Control in Rotherham, Sheffield, Doncaster & Barnsley
Moles can cause significant damage to lawns, gardens, sports grounds, paddocks, farmland and landscaped areas if left unmanaged. While moles spend most of their time underground, their tunnelling activity can quickly create unsightly molehills, disrupt root systems and affect the appearance and usability of outdoor spaces.
At Yorkshire Pest Control, we provide professional mole control services across Rotherham, Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley and the wider South Yorkshire area. Our experienced team assesses the extent of mole activity, identifies active tunnel systems and implements effective control measures tailored to the specific site.
Moles are highly active burrowing mammals that create extensive underground tunnel networks in search of earthworms and other food sources. As these tunnels expand, they can cause damage to lawns, gardens, golf courses, agricultural land and commercial grounds. Mole activity may also create trip hazards and make routine maintenance more difficult.
Common signs of a mole problem include fresh molehills appearing across lawns or fields, raised ridges beneath the surface of the ground, disturbed turf and ongoing tunnel activity. In many cases, mole populations can remain active for extended periods if professional control measures are not implemented.
Our approach focuses on identifying active mole systems and applying proven control methods to reduce activity effectively. We also provide practical advice on monitoring and managing mole activity to help protect your land from further damage. Every site is assessed individually to ensure the most appropriate solution is used.
Whether you require mole control in Rotherham, mole removal services in Sheffield, pest control support in Doncaster or mole management in Barnsley, our team can provide a professional and reliable service.

Mole
A small underground mammal with dark fur, powerful front claws and poor eyesight. Moles are usually noticed when raised molehills appear across lawns, gardens, fields and managed grounds.
Biology
Moles live underground and create tunnel systems while searching for worms and soil insects. They do not usually eat plant roots, but their digging can disturb turf, soil and landscaped areas. Molehills are created when soil is pushed to the surface during tunnel construction, which can make lawns uneven, damage sports grounds and create trip hazards. Moles are usually solitary, but even one active mole can cause visible surface damage if the tunnel system spreads.
