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.
At Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management, we handle vole removal in Des Moines, IA and nearby towns with local expertise, fast response, and proven methods that work.

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.

Bobcat Wildlife and Pest installed Incide PC™ insulation in our attic space. They were quick, quiet, and did a great job. Our home is warmer and more comfortable now. Well worth it!
I just wanted to email and let someone know how nice of a job Jared does when he comes out to treat the house. He always asks how things are and if I have any concerns. He checks things thoroughly each visit and addresses issues that need taken care of. He is very pleasant and professional.
Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again.
