Since moles are adapted for life underground, they construct extensive underground tunnels, using two types: shallow surface tunnels in the spring, summer, and fall; and deep permanent tunnels used year-round as the main avenues of travel. Nest cavities and home areas, 6 inches in diameter and lined with vegetation, can be found 12 to 18 inches beneath the soil surface connecting the deep tunnels.
