Moles like grubs and worms. Without which they don't really set up shop beyond exploring , bedding/denning under cover like a concrete slab or stump.
Tunnels are run out and checked after for edible traffic in them. Of course they can be made to acquire prey/food . But the ones reused over and over are for a reason. As opposed to one and done travels.
Fancy scissor type mole traps aren't cheap. And vs my lawnmower not too durable.
Voles might gnaw some tubers. They are the culprits when brown paths show on lawns inspiring from thier travels.
They like to run under mulchy like thatch.
Voles to are the culprits leaving low girdled bark on delicate fruit tree saplings in winter. under snow work. Window screening covered by hardware cloth can deter them .
Rabbit stripped bark is snow level or above. (Looking much more above ground of course when snow is gone.)
You got homegrown taters though! Way ahead of me.
