Content: Some of the larger types of moles will actually eat small mice that enter their tunnel system, but it's not very common. Moles dig the tunnels you see in your yard as they search for food, primarily earthworms. Once constructed these tunnels actually serve as an earthworm trap. A mole has a unique ability to sense when an earthworm falls into one of their tunnels. Once located, a mole bites the earthworm releasing a toxin in their saliva that can paralyze the worm. Once paralyzed, the mole can store living earthworms in underground "larders" for future consumption. Before consuming the worms, a mole pulls the worm through its paws which forces the dirt out of the worms stomach. What Do Mole Eat - Reducing Food Supply
Although moles commonly eat grubs, using expensive grub prevention additives on your lawn is not an effective way to control them. Grubs only make up a small portion of a moles diet. If the insecticides do actually work at killing the grubs, a mole will just consume a different type of insect or earthworms……..their favorite food choice.
