If you are struggling to minimize mole and vole activity in your yard, please take a look at two documents linked below. They'll help you understand the difference between moles and voles, and what they're doing underground, as well as how you can try to manage their activities on your property.

The Wildlife chapter of the North Carolina Extension Gardener Handbook has very informative sections on moles and voles. Here's the link to the entire chapter, in case you're trying to learn about lives of other wildlife too.

And Extension agent Marshall Warren in Johnston County has put together a very informative article, with excellent photos, to help shed light on dealing with these very interesting and challenging neighbors.
