Moles are
small mammals that live underground in tunnels. They look cute, but are also
be very destructive to landscapes leaving behind holes. Their long curved
claws are used for digging as they make their way around through the soil. This can destroy property and may need professional mole control in NJ.Their burrowing is a way for moles to stay away from their natural predators, birds and reptiles.
Moles dine on earthworms and other
insects in the soil, they also trap mice that walk into their tunnels
underground. The saliva of a mole contains a toxin that paralyzes earthworms and other insects. Despite their poor eyesight, moles can sense when a worm falls into their tunnel causing the mole
to catch it. Within their tunnels, moles create a stockpile to
store their prey for later consumption.
There are about 20 different species
of mole and they all breed around the same time in the Spring. The male mole
lets out loud pitched squeals in search for a female, they may even search
through foreign tunnels.
These mammals can be very
destructive as they create plenty of holes in lawns and
gardens. Moles can be
often known as pests when they are in someone’s yard destroying it. With all
the holes the moles create they can reduce the area for growth and often cause
weeds to grow.
