Moles are solitary, there are seldom more than 7 to an acre of land.
Moles can eat 65-100% of their weight in food daily. They feed day and night at all times of the year.
Moles do not hibernate.
Burrowing activity occurs year-round but peaks during warm, wet months.
Moles breed in late fall/early winter and give birth in late winter/early spring.
Moles eat only live insects and worms (mature insects, snail larvae, spiders and small vertebrates) with earthworms and white grubs being their favorite.
There are an average of 1-4 moles in a suburban yard and the presence of only one produces significant damage.
Moles push up dirt through the vertical tunnels onto the surface, these are known as mole mounds. However, trapping occurs in the horizontal mole runs or tunnels.
Moles prefer moist, sandy loam soils in lawns, gardens, pastures and woodlands. They generally avoid dry clay soils
