The oval surrounding their name was meant to protect them from evil spirits in life and after death. The cartouche has become a symbol representing good luck and protection from evil.

A single mole can construct 200 mounds over the course of a winter. (Drawing by Jenifer Rees.) Moles construct two kinds of tunnels: surface tunnels and deep tunnels, or runways. Surface tunnels are located 1 to 4 inches below the surface.
Before we begin with control options hereâs a quick mole primer. There are two types of moles active in Michigan: eastern moles and star-nosed moles. The eastern mole is the mole that creates surface tunnels all over the place.The star-nosed mole is the mole that forms the big piles or volcanoes of soil on the surface.The star-nosed moles are probably considered the tougher of the two to control because their tunnels are much farther below ground.he eastern mole is the mole that creates surface tunnels all over the place.
