WHY CONTROL VOLES?
Voles are easy to overlook—until they’ve wrecked your lawn, garden, or landscape.
If you’re spotting trails in the grass, soft ground, or plants mysteriously dying off, you’re likely dealing with an active infestation.
These tiny rodents burrow just below the surface, cutting through root systems and leaving behind a trail of damage that gets worse the longer it’s left alone.
1. Preserve Lawn and Garden Health
Voles chew through roots and dig networks of shallow tunnels, making your yard feel unstable and look patchy. Catching the problem early keeps your outdoor space healthy, clean, and easier to maintain.
2. Prevent Property Damage
Those tunnels don’t just harm the lawn. If left unchecked, they can stretch beneath patios, driveways, and even your home’s foundation—causing issues that aren’t just cosmetic.
3. Protect Your Landscape Investment
Whether it’s a well-tended flower bed or new shrubs along the walkway, voles don’t care. They’ll chew through the plants you’ve spent time and money to grow.

HOW TO IDENTIFY VOLE ACTIVITY
Spotting vole activity early can help you prevent extensive damage to your property. Here are some key signs to look for in your yard:
1. Surface Runways and Burrows
Look for narrow, well-worn paths or runways on the surface of your lawn, often leading to small burrow entrances. These trails are a clear sign of vole activity as they move through their established routes.
2. Damaged Vegetation
Check for plants with chewed stems, roots, or bark, especially near ground level. Voles feed on a variety of vegetation, causing visible damage to garden plants, shrubs, and trees.
3. Soft, Spongy Ground
Walk around your yard and feel for areas where the ground feels unusually soft or spongy. This can be a sign of extensive burrowing activity beneath the surface, disrupting the soil structure.

Why Choose Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Control
Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful-I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
Thank you so much! We debated calling for a long time. When I finally did Blake came the very next day and trapped the squirrel who was the culprit of the damage. He fixed the damage too! We are so happy we finally called, wish we would have done it sooner! Thanks Blake!
Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management came to my house to deal with a serious bat problem. I have had no issues with bats since they came, and the guy who did the work on my house was thorough and took obvious pride in his work. They are knowledgeable and thorough and don’t take the easy way out. It was clear that they really cared about solving my bat issue and I highly recommend them to anyone with a bat problem.
