MOLE

 

Other Names: Eastern Mole, Star-Nosed Mole, Coast Mole, Townsend's Mole

 

The most noted characteristic of a mole is probably its webbed feet that are used like paddles to swim through the soil.  It is this "swimming" motion that can sometimes inadvertently damage the roots of crops, plants and other shrubbery when they get too close to the surface.

Moles are helpful in that they remove damaging insects and grubs from lawns and gardens.  Unfortunately, however, their burrowing habits can destroy grass, gardens and flower beds and tear up tree roots.

 

Moles, Gophers and Voles are often found in the same location and their damage is often confused.

 

It is important to correctly identify the problem animal that is causing the damage so that the appropriate control methods can be selected.

Mounds & Runways

 

Moles Rodent Library - Identify Mole Damage - Victor Mole Control

Moles excavate soil from their deep tunnels and deposit dirt on the surface in volcano-shaped mounds.  Gopher mounds are generally horseshoe-shaped and are larger than Mole mounds.

 

The number of Mole mounds seen in your yard is not a good measure of how many moles are in a particular area.  Moles are very territorial.  Typically, 1 acre can support 2-3 Moles.

 

Another common indication of Moles is the surface tunnels that appear as long ridges in the soil.  Moles are capable of creating 100 ft. per day of these subsurface tunnels.

 

They do not generally create mounds off these surface tunnels but simply use them for feeding and then abandon them.

 

Moles' burrowing habits can destroy grass, gardens and flower beds and tear up tree roots.
