Mole Control in Thetford

Mole control is the service CRC Pest Control was actually built on, and Thetford — our own postal town, around 12 miles from our base in Hockwold — is where a lot of that reputation was made. The light, sandy Breckland soil around the forest edge is easy going for moles, so lawns, paddocks and field margins here see plenty of activity.

We cover the town and the villages around it — Croxton, Kilverstone, Barnham and Santon Downham — quoted per property once we know roughly how many runs are active. There’s no set price list for mole work; scale varies too much between a garden lawn and a field margin running the length of a paddock to make a flat fee honest, so we always look at the ground, or talk it through with you, before quoting. There’s no charge and no obligation just to get that figure.

Moles are territorial and largely solitary, so a run of molehills across a lawn, paddock or field margin usually means one animal working a familiar route rather than a colony moving in. That matters for how we treat it — on horse ground especially, a run close to the surface is a genuine trip risk, not just cosmetic damage to the grass, so confirming exactly which runs are still active before a single trap goes down is the difference between a job that actually finishes and one that drags on.

We control moles the way CRC always has, going right back to the job that gave Chris the “Mole Man” name in the first place: traditional trapping, no gas and no poison, checked and cleared on a regular round until the ground stays quiet for good, not just until the first mole’s caught. It’s the same patient, checked-until-it’s-clear method whether the job’s a garden on a new estate, a paddock out toward the forest, or a farm field margin — and it’s the one part of the business that hasn’t changed since the early days.
