Moles primarily consume earth worms and grubs in the soil along with any other underground invertebrates and occasionally various types of nuts. Moles contain a toxin in their saliva which helps paralyze their prey once they capture it. This diet makes manicured lawns and landscapes a large target for mole activity. Well watered lawns and loose moist soils of flowerbeds are a hotspot for worm and grub activity. This abundance of food sources will continually attract moles to your property. Moles create elaborate underground tunnel systems which are not only highways for moles but also serve as feeding tunnels to collect worms and grubs. These underground tunnels are an eyesore throughout your lawn and flowerbeds and commonly travel under concrete driveways, sidewalks, and foundations which can undermine these structures and even create future washouts from erosion. Moles do not feed on vegetation but their excessive digging can commonly damage the roots of grass, flowers, and shrubs. Moles will continue to reproduce and if left uncontrolled and the problem will continue to escalate.
