Do moles eat hosta?
Moles do not eat much hosta if any. Vegetation comprises a very tiny amount of what a mole eats if any at all. If you have damage to your hosta and you know that you have moles, you probably also have voles. Although I haven’t actually interviewed a vole for this blog, I have read that voles can utilize mole holes to forage for food and it would not be unusual to have both voles and moles in the same enviroment. Moles primarily eat worms and grubs. If you have a nice garden, well fortified with organic material, you will probably have worms thus you might attract moles. Another favorite of moles are grubs. If you’ve seen grubs or worms when you are digging, your garden could easily attract moles and the voles might follow.
