Due to their similar appearance, voles are small rodents that are frequently confused for mice. Voles, in contrast to house mice, spend the most of their time outside, building networks of small tunnels under grass, gardens, and landscaping. They seriously harm lawns, flower beds, shrubs, and young trees by feeding on grass, roots, bulbs, bark, and other vegetation. Without expert management, vole populations can grow quickly and cause damage to your property all year long.
Why Are Voles Dangerous?
Voles can seriously harm residential and business landscapes, even though they hardly ever enter dwellings. Their eating habits ruin attractive plants, vegetable gardens, flower bulbs, and grass roots. Voles frequently nibble the bark of young trees and shrubs under the snow in the winter, weakening or destroying important landscaping.
Additionally, their shallow runways can produce uneven terrain, which detracts from the aesthetics of lawns and raises maintenance expenses. A burgeoning vole population can quickly spread across your property and cause damage year after year if left unmanaged.
Common Signs of Voles on Your Property
You may need professional vole control if you notice:
- Narrow surface runways or trails through your lawn
- Small burrow openings around gardens and flower beds
- Damaged grass, roots, bulbs, or vegetable plants
- Bark stripped from young trees and shrubs
- Soft, uneven ground caused by underground tunnels
- Sudden patches of dying grass or damaged landscaping
- Increased rodent activity in outdoor areas
Why Are Voles Common in Calgary?
Calgary's parks, residential neighborhoods, gardens, and green spaces provide excellent habitat for voles. They thrive in properties with dense vegetation, thick mulch, overgrown grass, and abundant ground cover that offers protection from predators.
Voles remain active throughout the year, even during winter beneath snow cover. Homes with landscaped yards, gardens, shrubs, and young trees are particularly vulnerable to vole activity and the damage they can cause.
