An animal-friendly solution for molehills

Mole hills are often an eyesore and cause a great deal of damage to lawns. To combat these mole hills in an animal-friendly way, RootBarrier® mole protection can be installed both horizontally and vertically. The mole protection is installed horizontally up to 5 cm and vertically 50 cm to 1 m below the lawn.

This means that when the mole digs, it comes up against the mole netting, preventing it from digging any further.

What causes a molehill?

Moles are useful animals in the garden and on its menu are a lot of pests and insects, which is an advantage for garden owners. However, moles do have their own idea of gardening and landscaping.

They push the excess soil upwards, creating a molehill. They then use the molehill for an exit, looking for nesting material on the earth's surface. These molehills are often an eyesore and cause a lot of damage to lawns.
