Catching mole activity early makes it far easier to deal with. Here's exactly what to look for.
Mole damage is usually pretty obvious once it's established, but catching the early signs means dealing with the problem before your lawn takes a real hit. Here's what Pest Control Services Devon looks for.
Fresh molehills are the clearest giveaway — small, volcano-shaped mounds of loose soil with no visible entrance hole. They can appear individually or in a scattered line, following the path of a tunnel just below the surface.
