Pest Control Services > Mole Control
It’s important to note that pest controllers do not catch and release moles. Anyone claiming to do so is either misinformed or not following proper guidance. Moles are solitary and highly territorial, so relocation causes significant distress. Live tube traps also present welfare issues, as the animal must be attended to immediately once trapped; otherwise, it can remain confined for an extended period, which is inhumane.
Unfortunately, humane dispatch is the only appropriate control method. For this reason, people are usually advised to tolerate moles where possible, and only proceed with humane dispatch when absolutely necessary. Mole FAQs ↗

Control Measures
-
Trapping is possibly the most successful methods (there are a wide variety of traps available)
