FISHERSVILLE VA: (Rocktown Now) – Andre talked about moles and voles, the difference and what to do to prevent them. While moles and voles are often confused, they cause very different types of damage in the landscape. Moles are insect-eating mammals that create raised tunnels as they search for grubs and earthworms beneath the soil. Voles, on the other hand, are small rodents that feed on plant roots, bulbs, bark, and other vegetation. Andre explained that keeping lawns healthy, reducing excess mulch and ground cover, and eliminating hiding places can help discourage these troublesome pests from making themselves at home in your yard and garden.
