| Pictures of moles. Moles live underground by digging tunnels. They'll eat bugs (specifically, earthworms and grubs) that they find underground. They're typically considered pests, because they make holes in your lawn. If they're causing a problem in your lawn and you really need to get rid of them, start by using an insecticide to kill the grubs. If the grubs are gone, the moles will run out of food and move on to greener pastures. Mole saliva is poisonous to earthworms and will actually paralyze the earthworm, allowing the mole to store it alive for later consumption. Moles will pick earthworms apart prior to eating them, and remove the dirt from their insides. Look, who wants to eat dirt? Moles don't eat plant roots, but they can damage roots as the burrow, inadvertently killing your lawn.
