Mole Facts

• Moles can tunnel 60' to 300' a day depending on soil type
• Moles diets consist of more than just grubs. Earth worms and insects make up a huge part of a moles diet.
• Moles spend a great deal of time in deeper tunnels we can't see, giving the impression that they have left or that poisons have worked. They will return!
• Gum, moth balls, and human hair are all myths. They will not repel moles.  
• A 5 ounce mole will consume 45-50 lbs of worms and insects each year.
• Moles can dig surface tunnels at approximately 18 feet/hour.
• Moles travel through existing tunnels at about 80 feet/minute.
• Moles contain twice as much blood and twice as much hemoglobin as other mammals of similar size. This allows moles to breathe more easily in underground environments with low oxygen.
