Mole control for golf clubs and sports grounds
We provide mole control for golf clubs and sports grounds, working with your grounds team to protect fairways, greens and pitches. Our service covers inspection, treatment and ongoing monitoring.
Moles can damage a playing surface quickly, and molehills tend to appear most in autumn and spring. Treating early, before activity peaks, helps keep your surfaces playable and looking their best.
We work around tee times, fixtures and course access to keep disruption to a minimum. You also get clear reports for your club committee, council or facilities board when treatment needs to be documented.
Mole control for gardens and homes
Acorn provides mole control for gardens and homes, dealing with molehills, soil mounds and the uneven ground they leave across lawns, borders and paths.
We inspect the affected area, check how active the moles are, recommend the best way to deal with it, and give homeowners, landlords and residential sites advice to help stop the problem from returning.
What are the signs of mole activity?
The clearest sign of mole activity is fresh molehills popping up across a lawn, field or garden. You’ll rarely see a mole above ground, but it’s usually easy to tell they’re there – just look out for:
- Fresh molehills in lines or clusters
- Raised ridges across the lawn or turf
- Soft or uneven ground when you walk on it
- Disturbed soil in flower beds or borders
- Damage to fine turf or sports pitches
- New mounds appearing again after you’ve cleared them
If molehills keep coming back, the tunnels underneath are still active. A professional inspection will tell you how bad it is and what to do next.

How does our mole pest control service work?
Every call-out follows three steps: a risk assessment, on-site treatment and follow-up with a digital report.
Step 1: Inspection & assessment
We check the affected lawn, ground or field, look for active molehills and tunnels, and work out how bad the problem is and what access we’ll need.
Step 2: On-site treatment
We use the best method for your site, using traps that are approved for legal, humane use under UK regulation.
Step 3: Follow-up and digital reporting
We give you advice on reducing the risk of moles returning and offer follow-up support if needed, including netting and more.

Mole control and the law
Mole control is regulated by law in the UK. Any trap used to catch or kill a mole must be approved under the Spring Traps Approval Order, which sets out which traps are legal and humane to use. Using the wrong trap, or using an approved trap the wrong way, can be both ineffective and against the law.
This is one of the main reasons we recommend using a professional rather than doing it yourself. Moles are very sensitive to disturbance, and dealing with them properly means understanding an active tunnel system – not just putting down a trap and hoping for the best.
