My AG season is over b/4 it got good. 1 plant lost early to storm. The other 4 plants are now toast due to what I think is moles or voles. All 4 plants completely chewed off at ground level right at stump. I have noticed for years dirt mounds in yard. How do I get rid of them? Thanks Peace, Wayne

I use the victor out of sight mole traps watch out they could take your finger off though.
Be careful. Moles arent gonna eat your plants but voles might use their burrows. For voles or whatever keep grass mowed as low as possible clear all brush and debris nearby... and get a barn/alley cat...

Try dusting or spraying the vines with something they wont touch... Sulfer dust? A pepper spray?

I received an email today suggesting milky spore...grubs eat it, die, release more spores for more grubs to eat...etc. No food=no voles. Pricey & pain in the ass to apply. Also found lil poison worms to put in tunnels. Not sure what I will do, but something will get done. It's Kaddy Shack time!!! Peace

Mouse traps with peanut butter has worked for me. Or if you have poison pellets to put in their holes, put some peanut butter on them too.
