Voles be gone

Voles are a small rodent, similar to mice and rats. There are four types of voles and they all share common characteristics, including their tendency to damage yards.

The four types of voles are:

• Meadow voles: The most common type of vole found in the U.S. They breed rapidly and live in gardens, yards, and farms. They eat grass, seeds, bark, clover, and alfalfa.
• Prairie voles: Found throughout the US, these voles can be found populating residential yards, agricultural fields, gardens, and golf courses. They feed on roots, grasses, tree bark, and insects.
• Water voles: They love to swim, and prefer to live near water sources such as creeks, ponds, and brooks. They can be seen searching for seeds, bulbs, and roots to eat in gardens.
• Woodland voles: After reaching adulthood, these voles live for just a few months. They are commonly found near homes with gardens and feed off of seeds, grasses, fallen fruit, bark, and roots.

Our professional technicians have the knowledge to properly identify the type of vole you have. After proper identification, we craft a personalized plan to rid your yard of voles.

Although not considered a serious threat to humans, voles can transmit diseases through their urine and feces and introduce parasites like fleas and ticks to your property.

As voles create tunnels, your yard, and all the hard work you put into landscaping it, will be significantly damaged by their presence. They create pathways of dead grass throughout yards and snack on garden plants during their ventures.

For maximum protection against voles, our service professionals perform our effective rodent baiting service.

Our service involves:

• Carefully inspecting your property and identifying the type of vole in your yard
• Placing a minimum of 5 bait boxes throughout your property
• Inspecting bait boxes every 60 days and replacing bait when necessary

Our cement bait boxes contain specially formulated bait that attracts voles and acts as a blood thinner. This bait sends the voles away from your property in search of water. Each box is secure, so you never have to worry about nosy kids or pets coming into contact with the bait.
