Voles Everywhere!!
Has anyone ever dealt with Voles before. At first I thought they were moles, but after observing them, and reading more about them and moles, i have confirmed they are Voles.
Looking for remedy to remove them, they are causing major plant and yard damage. Thank you |
Cmon, nobody has dealt with these that have any tricks???

Following because they ate half my potatoes and the best beets I ever grew last year

The voles are usually going after grubs or earthworms.
You can check to see if you have grubs by cutting out a section of sod and flipping it over. You can purchase Bonide MoleMax Tan Cap or Tan corner flag on the label. |
I have been reading that moles are carnivores and that voles are herbivores. They eat grass and plants and grown cover to make pathways and to feed. That is what I have been witnessing. Also Voles do not burrow
|
Don't know if I had moles or voles. I sprayed the lawn with Castor Oil and they left. Followed up with Grub X. Have not had a recurrence. Problem this year appears to be rabbits eating Impatiens. They seem to leave Salvia alone.

For the Rabbits, they also make a product. Repels-All. But the smell is not the most pleasant and it needs reapplication, especially after the heavy rains we have. |

It uses cayenne; but not sure what it is added to creating the "wax". |
Bird Feeder Nearby?
Commonly available bird seed "mix" has tiny, but abundant, millet seed, which many birds scatter beneath the feeder.
(Making it readily available to mice and voles). :look: |
