Javier, thanks so much for this super-helpful post. Great advice on identification and control.
There is confusion amongst many gardeners about moles, voles and other rodents.
I had damage from what I think was common volse here, just once thank goodness in my first year, after creating garden from old pasture. Carrots suddenly wilted in summer after being eaten from the bottom. It happened only in a bed which I had dug.
I caught two in a mousetrap with peanut butter, with the trap under some leaves.
Since then, no more voles, and occasional moles.
