No problem here with moles but the dang voles burrowed under my green onions and ate a bunch. I literally saw a green onion start shaking and slowly disappear going down into ground! Kind of like a bugs bunny cartoon when the carrot disappears under the ground.
I was talking to someone that claimed he ran the exhaust from a small engine through a tube and into the tunnels. Said the carbon monoxide killed them, but you had to run it for at least 45 minutes. Anyone ever try that?
I thought moles are the meat eaters and voles eat vegetation?
Could be wrong about that.
Yeah, I think you're right about that.
Around here, Moles are small about the size of a mouse and they eat worms and grubs. Voles are bigger. The one we had was about as big as a mink and they eat roots. I'd have several good sized shrubs just up and die. You could grab it with one hand and pull it out of the ground and the roots would be gone.

Nah just cherry bombs when they were semi-legal on ground hogs.

I've tried smoke bombs made for that. Didn't seem very effective. But, that doesn't mean a mower run for 45 minutes wouldn't.
We had moles once, backed the Chevy with 200K on it to where I had opened a tunnel and stuck a length of sump pump drain hose in it. Taped it to the exhaust and put dirt around the hose/tunnel end. Let it idle for half hour and never saw moles again.

Voles are hell on cantaloup. They’ll chew a hole in the bottom and hollow it out. You can’t tell its gone until you pick it

nice fur. I always thought a real mole union suit would be a dandy addition to my winter warddrobe.
