How to defend against mole rats in Fallout Shelter
The secret? Elevators. Mole rats can't dig through them. So if you've got a room that's not touching dirt because it's surrounded by elevators, those rooms are safe. Call it the 'elevator strategy'. Works like a charm.

Defending against mole rats is all about preparation and quick response. First off, make sure your vault is well-laid out; mole rats hate elevators, so use them to your advantage by creating buffer zones between rooms. Also, keep your dwellers equipped with the best weapons you've got. When mole rats attack, move your armed dwellers to the affected area ASAP. Also, upgrading your rooms will make them more resistant to attacks, including those pesky mole rats!
Quick tip: Don't bother too much. Mole rats are annoying but with decent weapons and a good layout, you'll handle them easily. Sometimes it's about accepting they'll show up and being ready to show them the door when they do.
Honestly, just keep your dwellers happy and armed to the teeth. Mole rats are tough but nothing a good old shotgun can't handle. Also, regularly check your vault's layout. No weak spots, no party for the mole rats.
