Despite the rhyming names, moles and voles are not the same, but it’s easy to confuse the two since both of these animals dig tunnels throughout your yard. It might be hard to sneak a peek at them since they both spend time underground. Once you get a good look at your creature in question, telling voles and moles apart is easy. Voles are stocky, small rodents that look similar to field mice. At first glance, you might think that you have field mice instead of voles. Moles have tiny eyes and ears, a long nose, and big front feet. Don’t forget that voles have a mainly vegetarian diet while moles eat insects and worms. If you don’t get a look at the critter but just see tunnels in your yard, how do you know what you’re dealing with? Mole tunnels are usually over 2-inches wide, while vole tunnels are 1-2-inches in diameter.
