Vole coming out from the ground inside a lawn - Vole removal

WHY CONTROL VOLES?

Voles, despite their small size, can cause substantial issues for your property. Their burrowing and feeding behaviors lead to significant damage in lawns, gardens, and landscaping. Here are key reasons why effective vole removal is essential:

1. Maintain Lawn and Garden Health

Voles create complex tunnel networks beneath the surface, leading to soil erosion, uneven ground, and harm to plant roots. Controlling vole populations is vital to keeping your lawn and garden healthy, preserving their visual appeal and vitality.

2. Prevent Structural Damage

Vole tunneling isn’t limited to green spaces; it can impact hardscapes like patios, driveways, and building foundations. Their burrows can cause cracks and compromise structural stability, leading to expensive repairs. Addressing vole issues promptly protects your property’s structural integrity.

3. Safeguard Landscaping Investments

A well-groomed landscape enhances your property’s value. Voles disrupt flower beds, uproot plants, and damage decorative shrubs. By managing vole populations, you protect your landscaping investments and ensure the beauty of your outdoor spaces.

HOW TO SPOT VOLE ACTIVITY

Detecting vole activity early can help prevent significant damage to your property. Here are key indicators that voles might be present in your yard:

1. Visible Runways and Burrows

Check for narrow, well-worn paths running through your lawn and small burrow entrances. These signs indicate active vole movement and tunneling just below the surface, suggesting the need for vole removal.

2. Damaged Plant Roots

If your plants seem wilted or unhealthy without any clear reason, voles might be the culprits. They can disrupt plant roots as they tunnel, leading to stressed and damaged vegetation.

3. Soft, Spongy Ground

Walk around your yard and feel for areas where the ground feels unusually soft or spongy. This often indicates extensive underground tunneling by voles, which disrupts the soil structure.

MAIN ISSUES

  • Tunnels in Lawn

  • Garden Damage

  • Uneven Soil

Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful- I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).

She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
