Once moles have established home, they patrol the tunnels created on their endless search for food that falls foul to the moles demise. It’s a difficult life the mole is faced with as he needs to feed to provide the energy required to tunnel, he needs to tunnel to provide the feast. Faced with a difficult life he digs on, only resting every few hours. Once made the tunnels are often used by several generations. Moles are solitary creatures, except during the breeding season. After mating the female gives birth to a litter of up to five young during the summer.
When I became a professional Mole catcher having tried out gassing, I found using traps a more reliable and safer method of control. I now charge a fixed rate for the average garden with as many as 5 pest moles with a no catch no fee policy.
