Fairfax County mole pest control animal tip: About Moles: Appearance, biology, habitat

Moles are one of those rare, especially annoying pests that are rarely seen, but their damage is often unmistakable so that you know they're around. Those lovely little piles of upturned earth strewn about a lawn or field let you know a burrower has decided to turn the area into a minefield are a sure sign of the alluvial menace.

Since moles are so elusive, some people don't know a lot of them. Knowing is half the battle, as the saying goes, and knowledge about moles can help fight them off your lawn and keep the soil relatively even.

Appearance

At first glance, moles tend to resemble an overstuffed mouse. They are usually around four or five inches in length. They have large, wide, paddle-like feet for digging, dark grey fur in most cases, and a narrow snout, except for star-nosed moles. There are 42 species of moles in all, so their appearance can vary a bit from species to species. Still, an elongated snout, wide feet, and fur are consistent for the various species.

Biology

Moles are not actually blind, but their eyesight is incredibly poor and heavily reliant on movement. Like almost all mammals they give birth to live young and breed in a similar manner to burrowing rodents. Except for mating times, moles live solitary lives, and males will fight over territory if they cross paths. Most moles eat earthworms, and in fact produce a toxin that can paralyze them. Instead of eating them right away, it's pretty common for moles to capture worms and store them for later.

Habitat

Moles are found everywhere except Antarctica and South America. Otherwise, they're not too picky. As long as there is loose soil to tunnel through and worms to eat, they can live there. Woodlands, grasslands, sandy areas with the soil beneath, and, of course, urban and suburban environments can all house moles. As long as they're not tearing up your garden or front lawn, they tend to not be a bother for anyone. It's when they start messing with your property that they get annoying.

As a pest, moles are pretty much harmless themselves. They don't really spread disease, they can't really bite anyone, and in fact, you almost never see the moles themselves. It's the damage caused by their burrowing that's the problem. Knowing how they live and what they eat is a good step towards knowing how to keep them at bay.
