Clyde Hill Mole Control

Moles have 3 to 6 pups at a time. During their March-May breeding season. Born hairless, the pups develop hair by 14 days. Pups are weaned at 5 weeks and begin to venture out of the nest. At 5 or 6 weeks, they leave the home tunnel completely.

Moles eat a variety of insects and other invertebrates, and are typically important prey for raptors, snakes, owls, weasels, foxes, and other carnivores if Northwest Mole Pros don't get them first!

Moles have broad, spade-like forefeet that are used for moving soil. The eyes are tiny and external ears are nonexistent. The fleshy appendages on its nose enable it to recognize prey items by touch. The North American mole can grow as large as 7 inches in length and weigh about 4 ounces.

Moles dig shallow and deep tunnel systems below the ground surface. The low ridge of pushed-up soil on the ground surface is a sign that moles are below foraging for food. The more permanent, deeper tunnels are used for resting, raising young, and food storage.
