my backyard in south St. Louis, MO county is an underground labyrinth thanks to (I think) voles or moles. How can I get rid of them without harming the frequent wild and feral visitors such as cats, raccoons, opossums...
thanks,

looks like it, yes. I was watering some bushes last summer and after a while I noticed the water was coming up several feet away from a different hole. The ground is so full of holes now that you actually sink in when you walk. I'm afraid this will kill my old bushes and trees.
We have a trap that my husband uses.. It has a pressure plate, that is attached by a spring to two spikes. My husband pushes all the tunnels down and waits to see which ones are pushed up. then he pushes them down again and sets his trap. He usually gets them with patience.
Another thing that works is caster bean plants. Plant them around a flower bed, and let them grow up to about knee high or higher, cut them down but leave the roots in the ground. It acts as a barrier to them.
