About Jim
Thames Moles was founded in 2001, when mole catching became the main job rather than a sideline.
Jim Clark covers gardens, farms, smallholdings, equestrian places and sports grounds across Surrey and nearby. He does not hate moles. One animal can still wreck a lawn, a paddock or a pitch.
No catch, no charge on mole work. On bigger ground Jim will often walk it first so the traps go in the right runs.
Moles on sports grounds and golf courses are a trip hazard and they ruin the surface. Regular visits through the year work better than a one-off panic. Rabbit control can be added where warrens are a problem.
When moles make unsightly mounds, they can stop grass from growing through.
On sports grounds and golf courses, Jim looks for the active runs and deals with them before the surface becomes a hazard. Regular visits can help keep pitches and greens in good condition, and rabbit control can be added where needed.
Mole control on a golf course
Moles on a golf course are a trip hazard on greens, tees and fairways, and the mounds spoil the surface. Jim finds the live runs and sets traps in them, then comes back to check. Regular visits through the year keep the course clear, rather than a one-off panic in the middle of the season.
How the moles are caught
The only reliable way to catch moles is metal traps set in the right tunnels. Electronic spikes, smells and similar gadgets do not work. Jim finds the live runs, sets the traps and comes back to check them.
On a pitch the mounds and soft tunnels are also a twisted ankle waiting to happen, so it is worth keeping on top of.
Mole control on smallholdings and farms
On farms and smallholdings it is the same method: find the live runs, set traps, come back and check them. Mole hills blunt machinery, spoil silage and make rough ground for stock and vehicles.
No catch, no charge. Call Jim on 07939 397 769 and he will come and look at the ground.
Did you know?
Moles spend most of their time underground, following a network of runs just below the surface. Their molehills can spoil lawns, paddocks and sports grounds, so Jim finds the active runs and uses traditional traps to deal with the problem properly.
How many moles you see depends on the ground and the food beneath it. They often reuse old runs, which is why checking the site properly matters more than scattering products or relying on quick fixes.
The damage that Moles can cause!
A mole works alone and mostly out of sight, but the hills and the soft tunnels underneath do the damage: a lawn goes lumpy, roots get undermined, and mower blades find the stones.
One mole is enough to spoil a garden, and left alone the runs keep spreading. Garden jobs are quoted from the size of the ground and how many traps it needs. No catch, no charge.
