True, almost. When your plants start disappearing (pulled down Bugs Bunny 
style) it is most often a Vole, not a Mole. You usually have both at the 
same time. The Vole uses the Mole tunnels to access nearby plant roots to 
munch on and will pull down the plant and eat the foliage also. They don't 
do as much damage if the Mole is not around paving the way for their next 
meal.
