I have voles in my lawn. How can I get rid of them?

3/24/2023

 
​Voles can cause damage to lawns and gardens by tunneling and eating the roots of plants. Here are some tips to help you get rid of voles in your lawn:
  1. Remove food sources: Remove any debris or plant materials that voles may be using as a food source. This can include fallen fruit, nuts, and seeds, as well as any dead plants or grass clippings.
  2. Create barriers: Use wire mesh or hardware cloth to create barriers around trees, shrubs, and other plants to prevent voles from gnawing on their roots.
  3. Traps: Live traps can be effective in capturing voles, but they require frequent monitoring and relocation of the captured animals to a new location.
  4. Repellents: Some natural repellents such as castor oil, peppermint oil or garlic can help deter voles from your lawn.
  5. Predators: Encourage natural predators like snakes, hawks, and owls to frequent your property by providing nesting boxes and a welcoming environment.
It is important to note that some methods of vole control, such as poison baits, can harm other animals and should be used with caution. It may be best to consult a professional pest control company to help you identify the best method for your situation.
