Arrow Vole Voter...

Red squirrels make trashy nests and don't burrow.

Chipmunks make tidy entrances to their burrows—not like these. It doesn't look like an average-sized chipmunk would even fit those holes—plus chipmunks are a "daytime" critter. That you haven't seen them is another clue that what you have are voles—which are reportedly only nocturnal.



(Though my photo above of a Wolfeboro vole was taken during daylight hours).



"Broomstick-sized" holes are a sign of voles.



Quote:
Vole populations can grow very large within a very short period of time. Since litters average five to 10 young, a single vole can birth a hundred more voles in a year.
