Attack of the killer moles
Moles will attack your lawn and tunnel throughout it until it looks like a scene from a battle field in WW I. They are not necessarily dangerous, unless you capture one live then watch out for their teeth, they bite! Their submarine like bodies and potent front claws allow the moles to swim through dirt. Moles build an intricate grid of interconnected cavities by scrabbling both subterranean and close to the surface. They are said to have very poor sight and feed by the sense of touch and smell, mainly on worms and larvae that they find. Moles possess extremely high metabolisms. Moles generally consume between two and three times their body weights every day. Moles are unable to survive without eating for 12 hours or so. Moles do not eat the roots of plants, leave that to the voles. Moles like lawns and gardens because the soil is usually moist and fertile; littered with insect and grub life. The mole will continue to tunnel as long as it’s getting its fill of food. Unless you indent on turning your lawn into a rock garden, the moles must be trapped and removed.
