Hi Paul, I'll want to hear what's recommended, too, because I've got the same problem in my perennial bed, but just bought some glue traps to tuck under the foliage near the tunneling, as soon as the weather dries out. I think the voles are mostly nocturnal and do emerge once it's dark, but like you, I've not seen them active, ever. Just have the hollow spots under my flowers and sections of the yard near the beds where the dirt's soft and easy for them to dig. Hope there's a solution for them (and the moths, for you).

Dear Paul,

Thank you very much for the inquiry. I am wondering if we are not talking about moles. Your description of them seems more likely than voles. The best way to get rid of moles is through trapping. I Like the harpoon type traps the best and suggest that you really only need 1-2 to effectively do the job. For best results, set them correctly and check them everyday.

As for the moths, there are many species, most of which are a nuisance at best. They have a short life cycle inmost cases. The Scotts product is as good as any.

Again thanks for the inquiry.

Respectfully,
