Moles

Moles prefer to live alone, except when it’s time to make baby moles in the late winter and early spring. They can dig inordinately speedily, nearly as long as your bed in one hour looking for worms and bugs to eat.

Physical Characteristics and Behavior

Most moles are about as large as your hand and weigh as much as a few chocolate bars. They look like fuzzy cylinders with big flat feet for digging.

Habitat and Urban Encroachment

Moles dig all the time and love dirt that feels similar to a wet sponge and has a large amount of food such as worms in it. You can find them making their homes in your yard, the garden where your veggies grow, or in fields. They dig two kinds of tunnels. Some are just under the ground for finding food. Other really deep ones are for living and staying safe.

Common Issues and Risks

Moles might look cute and fuzzy, but they can make a major mess in yards because of all the digging they do.Their tunnels make wavy lines and little hills on the ground that are easy to see and can destroy the grass and plants’ roots. Also, other animals looking for a snack can enter into these convoluted spots in your lawn. This can make the ground very fragile and turn it into something you should not do for mowing. Gardeners can’t have moles messing up everything.

Preventive Measures

If you remove a lot of the bugs in the dirt, where moles like to eat, the moles might go away because crawlers, such as worms, are their favorite snacks. You can also dig and put in special things in the dirt that keep the moles from coming into places such as flower beds. This stops them from coming in quietly and ruining your beautiful blossoms and favorite veggies. If you do not like having moles in your yard, you should keep your grass cut and not let the ground get too wet.
