Moles are known to be the most destructive pests when they attack a farm or a compound. They are small in size and they usually move underground. Their habitat is in the ground, which they make by digging tunnels as they move. They are very destructive to vegetation since they feed on leaves, fruits and roots among others. For one to eliminate these moles, a mole trap is the best method to deploy.

Moles not only feed on plants but also on different varieties of insects. The most favorite meal for moles is insects. Moles therefore find it more favorable to stay on compounds inhabited by insects. Examples of insects they feed on include termites and ants. They cause land destruction by digging several tunnels through the landscape.

Whenever the moles feed on food contaminated with poison, they eventually die. People who have no time of using other methods, usually use chemicals. The use of chemicals can be more effective. However, the use of chemicals is not recommended.

Removing of sources of food from the field is also another method. This makes them to lack what to feed on. This may starve them to death. Thus, they may move to other places in search of food. This method is better off but one has also to make sure that the insects never return to avoid attracting moles again.
