Protect Your Land from Voles
Voles are small rodent pests that can cause significant damage to lawns, gardens, and landscape plantings. Effective vole control is essential to prevent extensive destruction of vegetation and property. Proper management involves understanding vole behavior, habitat, and the most efficient control methods available.
Voles thrive in dense ground cover, grassy areas, and shrubbery, making habitat modification a key step in control.
Signs of vole activity include gnaw marks on roots, stems, and bulbs, as well as runways and burrow entrances.
Traps, bait stations, and exclusion barriers are common tools used in professional vole management.
Vole populations can multiply rapidly, with a single pair producing multiple litters annually. Infestations can lead to the destruction of turf, ornamental plants, and vegetable crops. Understanding the lifecycle and preferred habitats of voles is crucial for implementing effective control measures.
