Vole rummaging in a lawn - Vole Removal

Why Control Voles?

Voles might be small, but their impact on your property can be substantial. Their burrowing and feeding behaviors can cause serious damage to lawns, gardens, and landscaping. Here’s why timely vole removal is crucial:

1. Maintain Lawn and Garden Health

Voles create intricate tunnel systems underground, leading to soil erosion, uneven ground surfaces, and damage to plant roots. Controlling vole populations ensures that your lawn and garden remain healthy and visually appealing.

2. Prevent Structural Damage

The tunneling activities of voles don’t just affect softscapes; they can also impact hardscapes like patios, driveways, and building foundations. Vole burrows can cause cracks and lead to structural instability, which can be expensive to repair. Timely vole control is vital for protecting the structural integrity of your property.

3. Safeguard Landscaping Investments

A beautifully maintained landscape enhances property value. Voles can disturb flower beds, uproot plants, and damage ornamental shrubs. By managing vole populations, you protect your landscaping efforts and investments from being compromised.

How to Identify Vole Activity

Vole rummaging in a lawn - Vole Removal

Spotting vole activity early can help prevent extensive damage to your property. Here are some key signs to watch for in your yard:

1. Surface Runways and Burrows

Look for narrow, well-worn paths on your lawn’s surface, often leading to small burrow entrances. These trails indicate voles moving along their established routes.

2. Damaged Vegetation

Inspect plants for chewed stems, roots, or bark, especially near the ground. Voles feed on various vegetation, causing visible damage to garden plants, shrubs, and trees.

3. Soft, Spongy Ground

Walk around your yard and notice areas where the ground feels unusually soft or spongy. This can indicate extensive burrowing activity beneath the surface, disrupting 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.
