moles

Moles cause no harm. They are quiet, nearly blind little critters who spend most of their time underground. They eat grubs and worms and roots, and dig tunnels and little cubbyholes. You know there's a mole in your yard when you see a line of broken earth on the surface - caused by the tunneling below. Some people worry - 'They're destroying my lawn!', but the earth can easily be redistributed with a rake or hoe. Moles are one of nature's farmers. They plough the hard dirt from underneath, and fertilize it, and make it easier for plants and trees to thrive. Mole mounds are like a work of art, something to show off to the neighbor kids. 'You'll never guess who made this winding little maze of dirt!'
