Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about How to Get Rid of Voles Humanely in 7 Steps and hope the blog can help you.

Learning how to get rid of voles can help you say “Vamoose!” to these underground varmints before they wreak havoc on your landscape.

If you’ve never actually seen a vole, that’s not surprising. The 7-inch-long rodent also known as a meadow mouse is rather shy and spends most of its time underground. They are also easily mistaken for mice, although voles have smaller features and it’s rare to find voles in houses, while mice are relatively common visitors. Yet evidence of the pests’ presence is unmistakable: According to Emory Matts, board certified entomologist and technical service manager for Rentokil Terminix, “Voles will tunnel through the grass and may feed on the grass and other plants in the yard.” Vole holes in yards lead to dying plants and displaced grasses. Unlike moles, which eat grubs and other garden pests, voles love plant matter and won’t hesitate to snack on stems and seeds from your garden. These rodents are especially active in the springtime, just when your yard is coming back from dormancy. So don’t wait to roll up the welcome mat! Follow these DIY control methods and learn how to get rid of voles in your yard for good.
