An educational graphic by UK Extension. In the center, framed by a rounded white shape, is a molehill in a green grassy field under a blue cloudy sky. Below the photo is a large, rounded white text bubble which contains the title, "Outsmarting Moles, Voles, and Rabbits" in bold green text.
Underneath the title is a bulleted list explaining ways to outsmart moles, voles, and rabbits. The first is to identify the damage. Rabbits leave clean-cut stems, voles leave small burrows and gnawed roots, and moles leave dirt mounds and ridges. The second is to modify the habitat. Keep grass short and wrap tree bases with hardware cloth. The third is to enlist natural predators. Install nesting boxes to attract natural help. The fourth and final bullet point is to use traps. Use peanut butter snap traps in burrows or worm baits in mole tunnels.
