Moles diet is primarily made up of bugs, insects and worms. Their burrowing effect and underground tunnel systems destroys plants and roots.
It's said that you have to "know your enemy" so let's take a look at a little mole biology!
Moles, along with their relatives the shrews, are members of the mammal order Insectivora, which literally (and appropriately) means "insect eater." Moles are specially adapted for a life underground—they have short thick fur (that can lie comfortably in any direction), tiny eyes, and ear openings that are hidden under the fur. Their bodies are rather narrow and compact, their snouts are pointed, and they have large claws on the toes of their powerful, shovel-like front feet. Under the right soil conditions, moles can tunnel at a speed of 15 feet per hour! (No wonder it seems like they can ruin a lawn almost overnight!)
These claws are adpated to burrowing the endless tunnels throughout the undergrounds. Broad feet, with long sharp toes and nails. They move like a bull-dozer. Amazing how these small animals can cause havoc.
