Moles/Voles

Southern New England is home to the  the hairy-tailed moles, star-nosed moles and eastern moles.

Moles are carnivores who like to eat worms, grubs and bugs. They also are the culprit who leaves large piles of dirt in your yard followed by seemingly endless tunnels. They are velvety and look like they have no eyes. The home range of one male Eastern Moles is 2.7 acres!

Here in Southern New England, we have the the Meadow vole and the Pine vole.

Voles look more similar to mice than they do to moles. Unlike moles, voles are herbivores. Moles are often the culprit when it comes to tree, shrub and garden damage.  

We have many different services meant to address a mole or vole issue. These range from, repellents, habitat modification, exclusion, toxicants, shooting and species specific trapping.
