Facts about Moles

Disease – Moles are not known to carry dangerous diseases that may affect humans.

Damage - This includes the obvious damage to lawns however underneath the soil are large areas that are burrowed through, drying out plant roots and eventually the runs may collapse and the lawn sink. Moles will dislodge plants and bulbs, digging around the roots searching for grubs. They are particularly destructive to conifers which often die off once the roots are left dry.

Do Moles Bite? – Very rarely is anyone bitten by a mole, however they do have very sharp teeth and strong jaws so are capable of giving you a painful nip.

Breeding Habits – The female mole gives birth to 3 to 6 young after a gestation period that lasts 4 or 6 weeks. They are born blind and with no hair. After 14 days of life, they begin to grow hair and around 22 days they gain vision and begin to move around more. The female looks after and feeds the young. The male taking no further part in their development. The young moles are suckled by their mother for one month. They reach sexual maturity when they are one year of age. Moles live 3 to 5 years, depending on area, climate and diet.
