Main Differences Between Moles and Voles:

• Moles are meat eaters, while Voles are vegetarians

• Moles have paddle-shaped feet, while voles do not

• Voles look more like a mouse while moles look like they have no eyes or ears

• Moles are easier to identify than voles due to their paddle-shaped feet and long nose

• Moles leave behind big mounds of dirt while voles typically do not

How to Identify a Vole Infestation

When it comes to vole infestations, you will usually know right away due to the shallow, snake-like tunnels that you will see all over your lawn. The tunnels that voles dig are roughly two inches wide and very close to the surface so that they are able to eat foods such as blades of grass. They are also much more active in the early spring, so if you notice these signs, be sure to contact a professional pest control company as soon as possible before they have the chance to ruin your yard or garden.
