Vole Identification & Prevention

Frequently Asked Questions About Voles

What are voles?

Voles are rodents that typically remain outside and do not venture indoors like rats or mice. This makes them less problematic than these rodents in many ways, but in other ways, voles can cause just as much damage.

They may not chew inside your house, but they will spend plenty of time gnawing on your landscaping, vegetable garden, and prize roses. This means they can wreak absolute havoc on your outdoor property. What’s worse, controlling voles is sometimes made much harder by the fact that they stay outside and are tougher to exclude.

Where will I find voles?

Voles are herbivores, and they will eat just about every part of the plant. That means they will be attracted to just about every lawn in the state of Utah, especially ones with juicy vegetable gardens, fruit trees, or lots of tubers in the ground. Voles also love plants with big, water-filled roots they can tear up from underneath, so if you water your lawn a lot, watch out.

Where will I find voles?

Voles like to burrow, so much of the time, you will not find them at all because they will be hiding out in their underground tunnels and dens. Voles spend much of their lives underground, though they will come up to feed on grass leaves and fallen fruits or veggies.

All this means the best way to tell if you have a vole infestation is to look for signs of voles, including:

  • Ruts or trails in your yard from voles traveling the same paths
  • Withering or wilting plants from voles destroying their roots
  • Damage to your fruit or vegetable harvests
  • Spongy soil or holes in the soil
  • Increased snake, feral cat, or other predator activity on your property

If you start seeing multiple signs of voles, it’s likely you have them and will need a professional vole control service to help
