Top Professional Tips To Understand How To Get Rid Of Voles And Moles

By Leonard Hungerford


The small mammals that live in your garden soil can prove a major nuisance as they eat plants and destroy the landscape. How to get rid of voles and moles needs a specific assessment of the rodent that has invaded the property and the most suitable mole and vole elimination method. Getting rid of voles and moles from your garden is entirely possible if they correct measures are taken.

A vole is a small rodent that often forms narrow tunnels near the surface of lawns and flower beds. These small animals can also create tunnels at the top of the lawn as the grass itself is one of their food sources. Voles are very shy remaining hidden most of the time within the soil during the day. They generally only come out of their vole holes to feed outside at night.

Moles also burrow and form tunnels in gardens, but these are often deeper than those of voles. You will notice areas that have been excavated consequently appearing as mounds or volcanoes at the surface of the lawn. This happens to a much smaller extent with voles. In either situation, you are likely to see several vole and mole holes. To ensure that your garden and special plants remain protected against these creatures, it is important to consider unique measures of mole and vole control.

Voles can quickly invade landscapes and require the correct steps being taking quickly. This should include natural management to control populations. Voles can contribute to the destruction of trees and shrubs that can cause the roots and the plants to eventually tilt and die.

Habitat modification: A garden should remain weed free and include the removal of different forms of debris that contribute to the ideal habitat for a vole colony. A common method of controlling vole numbers without harsh intervention is to use traps to catch the voles without killing them ... and then to safely remove them from the property. There is the option to use mole, field mice and vole repellents that can be placed on the grass to create an unappealing environment for the animals due to the strong smell of such repellents. These can all be effective ways to get rid of field mice, voles and moles.

Moles are highly destructive and must be controlled with the appropriate techniques before the entire landscape is destroyed. One can also place shovels into mounds in the early morning while feeding takes place as it scares off the critters that are sensitive to noise. It is better to consider more human methods of intervention before making a decision use mole or vole poison.

Mole and vole repellents can be used in the form of a spray solution. The spray aims to cause irritation for the moles making living conditions unpleasant and encouraging the animals to move to a new environment. One of the issues with mole and vole repellents, however, is the fact that they need to be reapplied frequently as their effectiveness reduces quickly after a few weeks ... especially if it rains a lot.

When it comes to a mole or vole invasion, it is good to consider environmentally friendly methods minimising the amount of mole and vole poison to be used. One should take the time to learn about the management methods available control the expansion of the mole or field mouse colonies. There are numerous environmentally friendly options that can be sought to better protect the environment and still remove the rodents effectively from the garden.
