Farmers – with temperatures dropping, now is a critical time for rodent control. 🐀

A reminder that farm assurance is no longer accepted as proof of competence when buying professional use rodenticides. To continue protecting your grain, feed and buildings, you’ll need CRRU approved rodenticide training or hire a professional pest controller.

Today's interesting mole fact

A mole needs to consume between 70-100% of its own body weight in order to survive. That’s what they spend most of their times doing below ground – foraging for food to eat. Their diet mainly consists of earthworms, but they also eat other insects such as beetles and larvae. Contrary to popular myths, they don’t eat plant roots.

They’re able to paralyse earthworms with a toxin in their saliva. Once they’ve bitten their prey, they’ll bring it back to a special storeroom in their tunnelling network to eat later. Some scientists have found food caches with up to 470 earthworms stored in them – sometimes more!

Disease Carriers: Spread diseases like Leptospirosis, Hantavirus, and Salmonellosis through droppings, urine, and saliva.

Rapid Reproduction: A small infestation quickly becomes a large one, making early control vital.
Skilled Swimmers: Can travel through sewers and enter homes via plumbing.

Interesting mole fact for today.

The average lifespan of a garden mole is 3 to 5 years. They are generally very territorial creatures and tend to live alone, so if you do see signs of mole activity in your garden then there is likely to be only one culprit.
