Moles, Gophers and Voles
Some of the most commonly found yard pests in Minnesota include moles, gophers and voles. The destructive nature of moles, gophers and voles can range from unsightly turf damage to extensive underground infrastructure damage. Infrastructure damage often leads to service disruptions and warrants costly and inconvenient repair bills.
MOLES
Moles in Minnesota are 6 to 8 inches in length and weigh about 3 to 6 ounces, approximately the same size as a chipmunk. The most common mole found within the Twin Cities Metro and suburbs is the eastern mole which is native to Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Identifying characteristics of moles are beak-like noses, unseen eyes, no ears, velvety fur, and stubby hairless tails
GOPHERS
Pocket gophers, commonly referred to as just gophers, are known for their extensive tunneling activities. There are about 35 species pocket gophers distributed across North and Central America. In Minnesota, there are 2 species of gophers including the plains pocket gopher and the northern pocket gopher. The northern pocket gopher is quite rare and isolated to Northwestern Minnesota with the plains pocket gopher commonly found throughout the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.
VOLES
Commonly confused with moles, voles are a member of the rodent family. Voles are grayish-brown in color, have a short hairy tail, and a slightly rounded head with small ears and eyes. They grow to be 3 to 9 inches in length. There are 23 different species of voles that live in the United States. The meadow vole is the most widespread and is commonly found throughout Minnesota.
