Moles

 (Family talpidae)

Moles, small burrowing mammals, can be considered pests when they invade lawns, gardens and farm land. Their tunnelling activities create unsightly mounds of soil and damage to plants roots, which can harm the aesthetic appeal and overall health of the landscape. Moles are insectivores and while they do not directly consume plants, their presence can attract other pests like grubs and earthworms, which can cause further damage to vegetations.

Treatment

Mole traps are often the most effective method to control mole infestations. They are always made of metal and are placed inside the tunnel and covered with dirt, ensuring minimal disturbance to the surrounding land.
