Distinguishing Moles from Voles and Effective Trapping Strategies

First Step: Accurate Identification

Moles and voles require different controls. Moles create deep tunnels with volcano mounds; voles make surface runways and eat plants. Visit wildlifedamagecontrol.com/solutions.htm for detailed identification guides.

Trapping Is Key

Both pests can be caught with traps, but success hinges on the trapper’s skill, not the trap model. Proper training in tunnel identification and trap placement dramatically increases catch rates.

Avoid Ineffective Methods

Poisons, repellents, and ultrasonic devices have little proven efficacy. Focus on mastering trapping techniques for lasting results.
