Male moles are called boars, females are called sows. A group of moles is called a labour

Moles burrow under lawns, raising molehills, and killing the lawn, for which they are sometimes considered pests
They can undermine plant roots, indirectly causing damage. However, contrary to popular belief, moles do not eat plant roots

Other common defensive measures include cat litter and blood meal, to repel the mole, or flooding or smoking its burrow
There are also devices sold to trap the mole in its burrow

Humane traps which capture the mole alive so that it may be transported elsewhere are also options
