Q&A – How do I stop moles and voles from destroying my yard?


Question:
How do I stop moles and voles from destroying my yard?
​​
Answer:

Moles and voles are different creatures and can be controlled by different methods. Gardener Peter Richards says moles can be trapped. Moles can tunnel 200+ feet per day so only a few can make a mess of your lawn. Voles can be trapped with spring traps or poisoned. If you use poison you need to take precautions. Peter gives some advice on trapping and poisoning voles.
