Voles are voracious little rodents, who constantly eat throughout the year. Measuring about four to eight inches long, voles are sometimes mistaken for moles since they often travel through burrows initially dug up by moles.
Voles are difficult to eradicate since they bear a new litter several times a year.
Your bright green lawn is very inviting to voles. Grass blades, plus their roots and seeds, are a favorite meal for voles, but will they also eat bark, leaves, and insects.
If a plant in your yard topples over when touched, it means it has no root system. This is a sure sign that voles have made themselves at home. They usually travel through a path about two inches wide under the grass, as they devour plant roots and stems, killing them.
In addition to plants and shrubs, flower bulbs and potato plants can also be damaged by voles.
Attempting to get rid of voles by using moth balls, chewing gum, or other home remedies does not work, and it’s best to call a lawn and pest control professional.
