Burrowing pest (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mole

(Other definitions for mole that I've seen before include "Small burrowing animal" , "Heap of soil (a 6 mountain?)" , "Small pigmented spot on the skin" , ""Gentleman in black velvet''" , "Skin spot; breakwater" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal and the Universal.
