The Main Mole Meal is earthworms supplemented with some insect larvae, centipedes, millipedes and spiders. Moles eat more than their own weight in earthworms daily. Grub problems Applying insecticides for grubs will not solve the mole problem. Eliminating earthworms is neither practical nor prudent. Moles DO NOT eat bulbs, roots, pets or small children.
Moles are active year-round.
Activity near the surface occurs in early morning and late afternoon in the spring and fall and on cloudy, damp days in the summer. The rest of the year is spent in deep tunnels 6 to 24 inches under the surface. Main runways may be used for years. Well-drained, loamy soils are their favorite haunts. Moles are built for digging.
