Before and after the service: key points to consider

Here’s how to properly prepare for the service and what to do afterwards to prevent a new infestation.

Before the mole catcher's intervention

When should you intervene?

Moles are active all year round, so there’s no specific period to intervene.

However, it’s recommended to act as soon as you notice the first molehills to avoid a larger infestation that’s harder to control.

Finding a provider and getting a quote

• Clearly explain your situation: number of molehills, size of the garden, previous attempts.

• Contact several mole catchers to get personalised quotes and compare offers.

• Make sure the mole catcher uses natural methods without chemicals.

• Choose mole catchers who are also gardeners: they can help restore your garden after the intervention.

Tip: On Yoojo, you can easily post a free, no-obligation ad to receive offers from local mole catchers.

Preparing for the intervention

• Clear the access to your garden to make the mole catcher's work easier.

• Locate the active molehills and inform the professional.

• Avoid using other methods before the intervention to not disturb the work of the professional.

After the mole catcher's intervention

Can the moles return after the intervention?

It’s possible that new moles will colonise your garden, especially if you live near fields or forests.

This is why preventive measures and regular monitoring are important.

How to prevent moles from returning?

• Keep your garden tidy: avoid compost piles on the ground and remove fallen leaves.

• Avoid leaving fresh soil or mulch, as they attract earthworms, which are the main food of moles.

• Regularly monitor your garden for new molehills.

Tip: Some providers offer maintenance contracts over several months to ensure long-term protection against mole infestations.
