Southern Red-backed vole in a lawn - Vole Removal

WHY CONTROL VOLES?

Voles, though small and often overlooked, can create significant problems for your property. Their burrowing and feeding habits can cause extensive damage to lawns, gardens, and landscaping. Effective vole removal is crucial for several reasons:

1. Preserve Lawn and Garden Health

Voles dig intricate tunnel systems beneath the ground, which can result in soil erosion, uneven surfaces, and harm to plant roots. Managing vole populations helps keep your lawn and garden in top condition, preserving their health and aesthetic appeal.

2. Avoid Structural Damage

The tunneling activity of voles can also affect hardscapes such as patios, driveways, and foundations. Their burrows can lead to cracks and structural instability, resulting in costly repairs. Timely vole control helps protect your property’s structural integrity.

3. Protect Landscaping Investments

A well-maintained landscape is a valuable asset. Voles can disturb flower beds, uproot plants, and damage ornamental shrubs. By removing voles, you ensure that your landscaping efforts and investments are preserved.

HOW TO IDENTIFY VOLE ACTIVITY

Grey red-backed vole

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.

MAIN ISSUES

  • Tunnels in Lawn

  • Garden Damage

  • Uneven Soil
