Frequently Asked Questions

How long does mole removal take?

Most issues are resolved within 3 to 5 days once traps are set. The exact time depends on the size of the infestation and the terrain.

Is it safe for pets and children?

Traps are placed below ground and clearly flagged. We always advise keeping pets and children away from active areas during treatment for their safety and to avoid disturbing the traps.

Why do moles or rodents show up in the first place?

Usually they're drawn by moist, worm-rich soil (for moles) or easy access to shelter and food (for rodents). Well-kept land and buildings are often targets because they provide ideal conditions for these pests.

Do you return if they come back?

Yes. We offer follow-up visits, and can also advise on preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of pests returning to your property.

Do you cover farms and larger properties?

Absolutely. We regularly work with agricultural land, livery yards, large gardens, and country estates. We have the equipment and expertise to handle pest problems on any scale.
