Stephen Vantassel here, wildlife control consultant, bringing you another episode of Living the Wild Life this week, one to talk a little bit about moles. These are not the moles on your face or your skin. These are ground moles, moles that are living in typically grass. And although that’s not their native habitat, they primarily want to live in forested areas, but they do emerge out and grassy areas as well as warn time about moles, because a lot of our clients don’t like the damage that they cause to their turf. And that’s really the only reason why moles are being controlled is because they will damage turf, of course. If you’re a landscaper or if you work with a golf course, areas where people really pride themselves on pristine, undisturbed grass moles can be a challenge. So let’s talk a little about moles or several species. I’m not going to talk about all of them today. I want to talk about just one species. The most common, the wild was widely distributed in the United States. This is called the Eastern Mole scientific name. Wait for it is Scalopus aquaticus thats Scalopus aquaticus.
