Mole Control Services in Nairobi and Surrounding Areas
Moles are small, burrowing mammals that can cause significant damage to lawns, gardens, sports fields, golf courses, and agricultural land. While they are not dangerous to humans directly, their underground tunneling disrupts soil structure, damages plant roots, and creates unsightly mounds across your property.
In Nairobi and surrounding areas, moles can become a real problem, especially during rainy seasons when soil is softer and easier for them to dig through. At Nairobi Pest Control, we provide effective, humane, and eco-friendly mole control services designed to remove moles and prevent further damage to your property.
Understanding the Mole Problem in Nairobi
Moles live underground, creating extensive tunnel systems in search of insects, grubs, and worms. Although they don’t feed on plants directly, their digging:
- Damages lawns and landscaped gardens.
- Disrupts root systems of crops and ornamental plants.
- Creates uneven ground that can be dangerous for walking or playing sports.
- Allows weeds to take root in the disturbed soil.
In Nairobi, areas with loose, moist, and fertile soil are especially prone to mole activity. This includes residential gardens in Karen and Runda, sports grounds in Westlands and Parklands, and farmland in Kiambu, Thika, and Limuru.
Signs of Mole Activity
You may have a mole problem if you notice:
- Molehills – Conical mounds of fresh soil on the surface.
- Surface Tunnels – Raised ridges or soft spots in the lawn.
- Damaged Plant Roots – Plants wilting or dying despite proper watering.
- Loose, Uneven Ground – Dangerous for playing fields or walking paths.
Our Mole Control Process
- Inspection & Site Survey – We identify mole activity, soil type, and damage level to determine the best control method.
- Humane Trapping – Specialized mole traps are set in active tunnels to capture moles without causing unnecessary harm.
- Soil Treatment – In some cases, natural repellents are applied to make the area less attractive to moles.
- Tunnel Collapse & Restoration – Active tunnels are collapsed and damaged soil areas repaired.
- Preventive Barriers – Physical underground barriers can be installed for high-value gardens or sports fields.
- Follow-Up Monitoring – We return to ensure all mole activity has stopped.
