Problems
In the UK, Moles are classed as a major agricultural and horticultural pest. It is estimated that Moles alone will cause
millions of pounds worth of damage to agricultural and horticultural land each year. Despite this they are either protected
or not regarded as pests across much of Europe.
The main problem Moles cause in agriculture is that the soil that they push to the surface can contaminate silage making
it unpalatable, exposed stones from their hills can cause damage to machinery, also the fresh soil from their hills can cause
an invasion of weeds reducing crop yields.
Domestically and horticulturally, Moles can cause damage to young plants by disturbing and exposing the root system causing
them to dry out, wither and die. Mole hills also cause an invasion of weeds into areas where soil has been exposed, and their
hills are often regarded as unsightly.
