Moles are small, burrowing mammals that spend most of their lives underground. Some key facts about moles:

• Moles have spade-like paws that allow them to dig extensive tunnel systems, sometimes up to 40 feet deep.
• They can dig up to 30 meters per day.
• Moles primarily eat earthworms and insects, which they find by burrowing through the soil.
• Their tunneling helps aerate the soil and improve drainage.
• While moles are rarely seen above ground, their presence is often indicated by the molehills they push up to the surface.
• These molehills can be disruptive to lawns and gardens.
• Moles are not considered dangerous to humans or pets, though they could potentially bite if threatened.
• They do not carry rabies.
• There are various methods to deter or remove moles, including using repellent plants, noise deterrents, and traps, though professional pest control may be required for severe infestations.

In summary, moles are burrowing mammals that live underground and feed on insects and worms, causing disruption through their extensive tunnel systems and molehills
