Moles are small rodents that tunnel underground looking for food. They feed on earthworms, grubs and other insects. They use their trowel like claws to dig and push as they move the through the soil. They create new tunnels constantly and may not use the same one twice. To find active tunnels pack down dirt mounds and check them the next day. The disturbed mounds are active and can be used to place traps or poison peanuts to control them. You want to be cautious when using traps or peanuts if you have children or pets.
