Moles

Missouri is home to the eastern mole. a mammal known for its underground tunnels and consumption of earthworms and grubs. These animals have soft, velvety fur, large, powerful front paws for digging, and small eyes and ears, relying more on their sense of smell and touch instead of eyesight. The eastern mole's diet consists primarily of invertebrates like earthworms, grubs, ants, and centipedes, though it may also eat seeds. They are small animals, typically 5–7 inches long, with a pointed snout and large front paws adapted for digging. Moles create runs and tunnels in the soil, which can disfigure lawns and gardens. Sho- Me Pest has a few treatment options for this pest. Call today to discuss plans and options.
