Their powerful front feet with webbed toes help with digging, while their narrow hind feet have slender claws. Because moles are nearly blind, they rely on a keen sense of smell to find their way around.
Moles are found across various habitats worldwide, including grasslands, woodlands, and gardens, where their burrowing activities can cause damage to lawns and gardens.
A single mole typically ranges across more than one-fifth of an acre, with no more than three to five moles living on each acre. Usually, there are two to three moles per acre. Therefore, one mole may often traverse multiple yards. Effective control may require cooperation among several neighbors.
Yards with well-irrigated lawns or gardens tend to have moist soil, making it easier for moles to create tunnels and find prey. Overwatering or poorly drained areas can create ideal conditions for moles.
This means they can detect odors immediately as well as figure out the direction from which they are traveling. Smelling in stereo is a great advantage for moles because it allows them to quickly and accurately locate food and predators.
That must be why they need to eat up to 70-100% of their weight each day!

People often confuse moles with voles and shrews, though they are very different. Learn more about voles here. Shrews are very small, hyper-active insectivores related to moles, and they have slender snouts, pointy noses, and small ears that you may not be able to see.

You might already know for sure that you have an mole problem. Here are a couple of the most common signs of mole infestation.
Circle-shaped mounds of soil pushed up onto the surface of the ground, often indicating the presence of underground tunnels.
Crisscrossing surface tunnels visible just beneath the soil, particularly after rain or watering, when the soil is softer and easier to dig.
Moles can damage grassroots close to the surface, leaving behind unsightly brown patches.
Areas of the lawn that feel spongy underfoot or appear sunken, indicating the presence of extensive tunnel networks beneath the surface.
