GET RID OF VOLES, RATS AND MICE OUTDOORS IN A WEEK

[@tommycollier9172]

I totally agree with you I'm 67 years old and found KZbin 3 years ago and it has enriched my life I have learned so much from the good people who post videos and thank you for posting yours

[@ArkansasPrepper]

Tommy, I am so sorry to answer your comment this late but this video has over 300,00 views and a lot of comments. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Again, I ask for your forgiveness. Rick

[@tomperkins5657]

I just want to say that, thanks to you, I got rid of a nest of voles that tore my beautiful lawn apart in less than a month. Don't believe some of the YT vids that sale voles only eat roots. I got the fish flavored bait. It did take about a week to ten days before they chomped on it. I almost gave up as none of the other "cures" were working either. Then, BOOM! I first noticed the grass was growing back. Went and looked at the traps and, surprise, had to refill them.

[@ehallam08]

I make it a point to learn something new from KZbin every day. It's incredible.

[@paulineozley2891]

Yes. I also made these pvc traps years ago and they do work. When the neighbor across the road cut his fields the field mice would cross the road to my property I didn't know someone else knew about these bait feeders. Thanks for sharing.

[@ArkansasPrepper]

That is awesome!

[@Werewolf_Six]

I too have learned SO MUCH via KZbin and, here I am, learning again, watching your video about the vole solution. My wife and I are under siege by voles, and I'm going to get some payback now! Thank you for sharing, sir. Godspeed to you and yours.

[@AudioVile]

Looking through the comments, if you could EASILY do this, it would be great... Put all the pieces parts on a flat surface (table, workbench, etc.). Do a dry fit assembly (or even a real one if you want) to demonstrate the process. Some DIYers won't need it, but less experienced folks could definitely benefit from it!! This is a great video!! Thank you!!

[@ArkansasPrepper]

I wish I had at the time and have consider shooting another video. Thanks!

[@AudioVile]

@@ArkansasPrepper I can understand that!!

[@kiawahman]

This works! Had to overcome some pesky raccoons by lengthening the 2" horizontal tubes and then hose-clamping the trap to some rerod stakes hammered into the ground, but within a week all the voles are gone. I used the apple flavored bait - and they couldn't eat it fast enough. Have not seen any mice or chipmunks around either. I filled all the old vole holes and none have been re-opened. Not only will this save my vegetable garden this summer, but my lawn and bushes once there's snow on the ground.

[@nashvlbees]

Glad to hear it gets rid of chipmunks, too. Think I'll give it a try!

Thank god for KZbin. I have been in an epic battle against voles. I am going to drive 25 miles to town today to get supplies. I watched most of my winter garden just disappear one cabbage at a time down their holes. Pest control is so expensive but necessary.

We have lilac bush, mums, hostas, and peonies that have all been killed or extreme stunting of growth. They even run across our patio if we happen to be sitting there and not talking. I will be building these this weekend and I am gonna save our landscape!! Thank you!!!

[@abigailhumes4608]

I agree with you about the value of KZbin. I have learned very much from others like me who know a trick, a hack, a detail, or something handed down from their grandparents. I do not like everything about anything, I guess, so I will not complain about those things that do not affect the good I am getting. It does seem that ordinary people who make videos to share with others do as great a service as making college available to us all. Thank you for your contribution as well.

[@kayakcofyfishin1331]

A simple double fence, one 4 feet high and a similar fence inside about three feet inside. Will stop most any deer. Instead of wire on the inside fence I use white cord or nylon twine, the deer see it and don't want to jump into it.

[@1MSally1965]

My hubby made four of these and I’ve gone through about 20 baits so far. The first ones got moldy before they were gone just because we had nothing but rain the first six weeks of spring. Now they’re eating them up. It’s awesome. This is the ONLY thing that has worked. None of those stupid traps work at all! My final straw was them killing my young Ginkgo tree that I had grown for 10 years. I had NO idea I had a problem until then. My hostas all disappeared this summer too. I’m done. I don’t care if I kill every mouse or vole in the area! 😡😡 thank you!!!

[@meatpopsicle1567]

I can't use baits. I have a dog, and my neighbors also have dogs, so poisons are a no-go for me. Instead, I'm using steel rat traps (Made2catch) and cheap peanut butter. I'm knocking them out, averaging about four rodents a day, including field mice, deer mice, and voles. I set the traps near holes and on runs, cover them with large flower pots, buckets, or other containers large enough to cover the traps but still allow the voles and mice to get in, and check my trap lines every day. Yesterday, I took four fat voles. The day before, two voles and a field mouse. That's what works for me. I've also got a Tomcat vole trap that has taken about a vole a day for two weeks now. It has been set in the ground in a vole run and for two weeks now, it has done the job. There was only one day that nothing was in it, and I attribute that to there being no voles running through that tunnel that day. There is no need to bait it. It goes into the run and when a vole passes through it, it slams shut. The thing cost seventy-five bucks (!!!!), but dang it! It works!

[@wadejagger1497]

I've battled voles unsuccessfully for the the past few years. In fact, took me forever to even figure out what was tearing up my yard so bad. Anyway, I'm so excited about this bait feeder design you've shared. I might have a chance at finally beating them this year!

Thank you so much for sharing what you've learned with us. I have a field mice problem I'm dealing with. Didn't think I had a problem until the other night when I discovered they've gotten into my stash of rice. That made me very angry because food prices certainly aren't coming down any time soon and these things are as stealthy as they come. I never knew they could be so smart. I've got traps set all over the place and it's as if they just sit there and laugh at them whenever they come across one. I had one lick sticky peanut butter clean off of one of them WITHOUT tripping the trap at all. They seem to know to avoid the tried and true method that worked for generations until now. So, long story made short, I went on KZbin looking for answers and I came across your fine video sir! I like the trap. It's affordable, reloadable, and effective. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience tackling these crafty critters. Have a wonderful and blessed day. 😉

[@virginiamoss7045]

You don't need hot wire on top for deer. If they do anything, they will jump the fence, even at 8 feet, clear and clean. Several things will discourage them like not being able to see the landing area on the other side, seeing difficult and risky landing area through the fencing, not being able to see the fencing (like chicken wire) and other things you can see and learn about on KZbin. My garden fencing is 5 feet with the top one foot hanging over to the outside; it confuses them and keeps climbing critters from going over. 10 years, no problems except from the squirrels. Love the vole traps.

Great video. I’ve been building and using bait stations like this for over 10 years now with excellent results. I place them around my orchard during winter to keep the voles from girdling my young trees. I haven’t lost a single tree since I started using these. Mine are a more rudimentary design, just 1-1/4” tee with about 2’ top with a slip on cap and 8” on each of the ends. I cut the ends on a slight angle to create a little overhang to help keep some of the water out. I don’t use a rod in the tube, just stack the bait in the top and it works out just fine.

I really like the over hang cut you made. I did get some rain in mine and it caused some mold on the bottom cakes of poison. I will cut mine at an angle. Thanks!

@arkansasprepper here is the easiest way I’ve found to keep deer from eating my garden (without fence): put a bale of alfalfa out there.

I have a cure for your deer problem and it won't cost you all that much. Use Irish Spring soap (the original scent) around your property. I had the same problem here where I live in New Hampshire. Deer and many other types of animals hate the smell of Irish Spring. I tale a large bar of the soap, cut it in half, place that half in an old sock, or the bottom part of a panty hose, or you can even use a bird suet basket that you can buy at any Walmart store and place them on a low hanging branch, or in a bush or you can tie them on a stake and stake in in the ground. Place these around your property and you won't be bothered with deer problems anymore. When the soap starts wearing, don't throw it away, just keep adding more soap. I did this to my property and I no longer have deer problems.

Arg! I bought the wrong bait. I accidentally got the pellets instead of the bars. Oh well, I don’t have and outdoor pets so I closed up end of the trap and put the pellets in.

I do not know how many voles ate the gum but the number of vole trails in my yard were reduced. Next, I tried pouring a gallon of liquid carpet soap in a vole hole and flooded it with water. The voles vanished for a season. Later, I tried treble hooks (size 8) attached to fishing leader that I placed inside the holes (tunnels). The end of the leader was attached to a nail outside of the hole. I caught two voles on the treble hooks. Then they disappeared! As the little darlings ran through the tunnels, they came into contact with the fishing treble hooks and where snagged.

Hope you enjoy it!

[@jeffreylucas5730]

Thanks for sharing! Struggling up here in the Chicago area. Those Voles chewed up my lawn so I need to get to work!

[@RedwingT]

Thank You sir, hopefully this works! SIDENOTE: I went to Amazon to look for the bait and came across the bait station (I'm assuming) that you talked about (J T Eaton, who I'm assuming is the one with the patent) anyway, it's $79 bucks! That's crazy for something you can make yourself for a few bucks with little know how! Thanks again!

El lay lawd...he said Fit teen minutes!! I subbed. Thanks for this! Lots love from the Moonshine capital of the world!

[@aquietplace5832]

Oh yea! I am getting ready to put my veggies in the ground so this is GOLD!

[@algratz760]

Would like to see a close up of how you made this device.

I got the professional rat bates around the house and I'm still getting rats. in the house. Although the first round of baits I didn't have any for 6 months but now I'm getting them again even though I refilled the bates. I live in Texas and the environment is kind of like Arkansas. Do You have any suggestionsp

[@ArkansasPrepper]

Well, rats are a different varmint than Voles. If you buy the bait I suggested you can place a nail through the hole. Place them all around your house. I do not know about rats?

[@nouseforaname6846]

Awesome idea thank you! Fill the holes back in after you get rid of them though, I had yellow jackets move in with multiple nests! I did end up killing them off by dumping a bit of gasoline down the holes and put a rock on top. No voles, no yellow jackets and all is well once again.

[@kathleenphillips6445]

I was going to say the same thing about the yellow jackets moving into the holes because that happened to me. It took me getting stung and chased in my garden until I figured it out.

Just gas in the soil

For some people, it's mere entertainment. For men, the #1 benefit is it's the 21st century reference manual.

[@fayahjudah2451]

New subbie!!..I noticed alot of soft spots in my yard..Something I take pride in..I'll fix 'em...

[@ArkansasPrepper]

Thanks for subbing!

[@RachelWarren66]

Thank you! I have a coke issue in my garden and before growing gets going I need them gone!

[@allysonh6410]

Coke?

[@ArkansasPrepper]

After looking at my keyboard I think she was trying to type vole.

[@allysonh6410]

@@ArkansasPrepper 🤣🙌I'd say your right. Loved your video btw!!

[@DukeCannon]

Stupid squirrels ate my tomatoes. One bite, then go to next. I'm not growing them this year, I'll just get from neighbors. I give them honey, they owe me. 😁

[@BearCatNationlulz22]

I like the recommendation to share what you know. Thank you for making this video. You are awesome!

[@ArkansasPrepper]

Thank you Matthew.

[@skyking4501]

Great video!!! I love your property... you can do a lot with a place that big.

[@eternalharvestfarm]

Thank you so much. Voles ruined about half our potatoes last year and as we prepare this year I needed a good solution. This is perfect. Just wish I saw this before I went to lowes today, lol.

[@jbphoto7493]

I don’t even Google anymore. Anything I need information on, I go to KZbin!

[@ArkansasPrepper]

I do the same as you.

[@scottpatton8806]

fyi, KZbin is a product of Google.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

I am going to try this, as I have too many voles. Thanks for the tip. OAG

[@markvaughn2310]

What is the purpose of using the threaded rod to hold the Ramic? I was thinking of using the same pipe setup without the threaded rod. Considering inserting a Ramik bar 116334 into the tube. It wouldn't be supported by the rod and would sit in the bottom of the tube. A 4 pack of 1lb bars is $17 bucks, about half of the mini bars. Please comment if you folks think this a good or bad idea. Thanks everyone.

No personal experience, but a book, the Ultimate Guide to Deer-Proofing Your Yard and Garden by Neil Soderstrom, says that deer don't like thick fencing. So you don't need to go as high if you can go thick - in some way. I don't think they like blackberry bushes or red raspberry bushes. You could have any kind of living fence (sacrificial if you want) and if it is wide enough, they won't jump it. Then you just need a "fancy" gate that is impractical for a deer to traverse. Reportedly. Your deer may be more daring.
