Get Rid Of Voles, Field Mice And Fix The Damage They Do To Your Lawn

[@Puda]

I could never tell it was voles damage. Usually you see tunnels and your lawn is ruined. Yours is totally fine lol

[@JeffSeetonLawnCare]

I stay on top of them for sure.

@@JeffSeetonLawnCare same hahaha! Dealing with one right now. Can’t tell if it’s a vole or a mouse. My traps didn’t work so far. No visible damage anywhere and that pest is very recent as far as I can tell. Trying to make sure it won’t nest on my yard. Been seeing it every night for 3 days. It seems like it’s hiding behind a tree to eat and then goes to our neighbours yard. Can’t tell if it lives there or not far from my Apple tree lol.

@@Puda lol, they are sneaky for sure.

@@JeffSeetonLawnCare was able to catch it this afternoon with a snap trap. Poor thing wasn’t dead and only a side of its body got caught :/ it was a vole and it was coming from the neighbours.

@@Puda if there is one, there is more. Get yourself some bait stations as a preventative.

Do voles get trapped in your window wells? We have a problem with them jumping into ours. They have even chewed on the screens to wedge themselves in between the glass and the screen. We are using bait stations and spraying a castor oil-based solution.

[@JeffSeetonLawnCare]

They had years back and did the same damage to our screens. Voles are pretty much a non factor these days for us though.

A tutorial on how to deal with creeping charlie would be most appreciated!

[@JeffSeetonLawnCare]

I will do that. The creeping charlie season has yet to hit us where I am but it will be an issue in a couple of weeks. I will make one then.

@@JeffSeetonLawnCare That's great, and thanks for responding! Really appreciate the Canadian (especially Ottawa) lawn care tips.

But could be tens, hundred of voles. One trap get 1 vole...
