TAILORED CONTROL FOR MOLE & SQUIRREL DISRUPTION
Moles and squirrels may not seem threatening at first, but left unchecked, they can cause widespread damage. At Rapid Response Pest Control, our approach begins with a thorough inspection to understand the extent of the issue. For moles, this means identifying active tunnels and nesting zones across lawns and fields. For squirrels, we focus on roof spaces, attics, and wall cavities where they often hide. Understanding the habits of each species helps us take precise action and minimise disruption to your home or grounds.
SAFE AND TARGETED TRAPPING METHODS
We use approved traps for both moles and squirrels, carefully placed to ensure effectiveness and safety. Mole traps are set below the surface in active runs, checked regularly to allow humane removal. In cases where trapping isn't suitable, gas treatments or deterrents may be used. For squirrels, we may deploy live capture traps or spring traps, depending on the environment and severity of the infestation. Once removed, we ensure proper disposal in line with UK regulations. For infestations affecting stored goods, our rats and mice control service may also be required.
PREVENTION THROUGH PROOFING & HABITAT MANAGEMENT
Effective pest control doesn't end with removal. We offer prevention measures such as installing wire mesh over vents, sealing roof gaps, and removing nearby food sources that attract squirrels. For moles, we may recommend vibration stakes or ground maintenance to deter new activity. Our team also advises on repairing damaged lawns, garden beds, and insulation or electrical cabling affected by pests. These actions reduce the chance of recurrence and help restore the condition of your property over time.
LONG-TERM MONITORING AND ONGOING PROTECTION
Pest activity often returns when early signs go unnoticed. That's why we provide scheduled monitoring visits to check for new mole movement or signs of squirrel re-entry. Ongoing assessments allow us to adjust control measures and ensure your property stays pest-free. If you're also concerned about rooftop nesting, our seagulls and pigeons service can offer additional protection. With Rapid Response Pest Control, you get comprehensive support that extends beyond the first visit, giving you confidence in long-term results.
