Moles are solitary creatures only coming together to mate between February and June where the female gives birth to one litter per year of 2-7 young. The young moles are mature after 5 weeks and then go off on their own and live for about 3 years. Moles cause damage to lawns, golf courses, and crops; they are notoriously awkward to trap. DIY shops sell wind mills and buzzing devices that are placed in the ground designed to "chase" away the mole. However they soon become oblivious to this, much in the same way that people get used to living near a railway.

Control: Control can be achieved by professional trapping, smoking or the use of aluminium phosphide gas which is strictly controlled and requires a specialist licence.
