Mole Facts

• Moles are insectivores.  They are not rodents.  They will consume grubs and insects, but get the vast majority of their dietary needs from earthworms.
  
  
• Moles have an incredibly high metabolism.  This means they have an insatiable appetite and are always on the lookout for food.  In fact, they consume 80%-100% of their body weight every day.
  
  
• Moles use/create tunnel systems as the means to locate food.  They can move rapidly through existing tunnel systems, but can also create up to 100 feet of new tunnels in a day… causing extensive lawn and landscape damage.
  
  
• Moles do not hibernate and are active year-round.
  
  
• Moles are anti-social and typically do not coexist within the same tunnel system.  The one exception is for reproduction.  Moles typically breed in late winter/early spring.  After the young are weaned – 7-12 weeks after breeding -  you are likely to see the highest level of activity. 
  
  
• Moles live their lives underground, rarely coming to the surface.  Expected life span for a mole is approximately 2-3 years. 
  
  
• Moles will reoccupy a vacant tunnel system if food is abundant.
