Our Approach to Vole Control
We begin by assessing your property and identifying where voles are active. This includes locating runways, burrow openings, and damage patterns so we know where to focus control efforts.
Based on what we find, we use effective vole control methods that are suited to your situation. This may include safe trapping along active runways and around high-value areas like gardens or flower beds.
We don’t just address voles — we help make your yard less inviting to them. Clearing dense vegetation, removing debris, keeping turf short, and reducing cover helps discourage voles from settling in.
We can also advise or install protective measures for young trees and shrubs, such as underground wire guards or wraps that stop voles from chewing at bark and girdling stems.sue is resolved.
After initial treatment, we return to check activity and make sure vole populations stay under control. If needed, we adjust our strategy until the issue is resolved.
