Talpa europaea
As a solitary creature most of the year round, you’ll be very lucky to see a mole.
They rarely come above ground, but the evidence of the activity of a solitary mole can spread far and wide as a mole tunnel system can cover 100 – 1000 square metres.
Moles create extensive networks of permanent and feeding tunnels, so that’s when you’ll most likely notice the effects of moles on your property.
