I am experiencing sudden wilting and dieback of parts of some of my perennials. Eventually the whole plant dies in some cases. There are many 1 1/2 to 2 inch holes throughout my gardens. Some of my perennial beds are mulched 2 to 4 inches deep with a fine hardwood mulch and tunneling under the mulch is evident. My 2 newest beds are not mulched. Plants in all beds have been affected. I have read that mulching encourages moles and voles to set up houskeeping. Moles, I have read, eat grubs. I know I have planty of grubs by how many Japanese Beetles are around. Voles, I have read, eat grasses, seeds, tubers and gnaw through tree bark. Do voles also eat plant roots...or kill a plant just by burrowing/tunneling under them? Do moles do any of the that kind of damage? And what control will eliminate them? I am loosing a lot of plants to something, and need to get rid of whatever it is.
