I am in SE Wi. I have 2 yucca plants and voles attacked them 2 years ago. After using voleX and spreading it in their trails it reduced them. Now after heavy snows we had a week of warmer temps and you explained exactly what I have new trails at 1 yucca that they made under the snow. I like your trap, peanut butter nail to ground w bucket and weight . Thank you.

[@OverOut]

you really are a jack of all trades - even the terminator on the side... lol. some clever ideas here 👍🏼thanks for sharing.

[@inspiringbuilds]

Lol thanks, I have a part two of this one coming to get rid of large amounts of voles quick without dealing with traps. 👍

[@OverOut]

@@inspiringbuilds looking forward to it.

[@barney61ful]

It took patience but I got 2 voles! I also was putting out VoleX under the Yucca. BUT the 2 Voles were likely the main ones. I had 4 traps under 2 buckets. I removed all of the yucca leaves above grade and dug out most of it below grade and found their main food source at the base of the main stem at grade. I will remove the remaining root based on the weather. Grass is growing in lush due to the "aerating" of the soil by the voles! ;-} MANY THANKS!!

[@inspiringbuilds]

Awesome, glad it worked! I have another video if you need to catch more than a couple, did you get a chance to watch it yet? I leave those PVC traps out. 👍

[@nataliemorrison7173]

This is amazing! So cool what can be done DIY!!

[@inspiringbuilds]

Thank you, this is a cheap option and gets the job done!

[@woodrowboudreaux9951]

Another method that many old timers used to get rid of voles was a good 12 gauge shotgun with. .00 buckshot. Papaw used to sit in his rocking chair on the porch mornings and evenings just blasting away at any movement in the grass.

[@inspiringbuilds]

Interesting and thanks for watching! That may work shooting away from the home, a lot of the time these are against the foundation of the home with that being a tough option.

[@willywonka6252]

I have tunnels in my yard haven’t been able to find the holes they go in and out of. There’s no tug held in or around my garden but the are the roots of a lot of my plants

[@inspiringbuilds]

Thanks for watching. I’d recommend setting up a few traps like the ones shown in the video at various holes/tunnels.

[@FixItFrench]

I have a golden retriever that has made it his mission to kill every mole in our neighborhood lol. This is an awesome trick though, I’m anxious to see how many of your traps work

[@inspiringbuilds]

Dogs are awesome, they will kill them, but won’t eat them. I’ve caught several with the traps and will show another method next on getting rid of large amounts fast. 👍

[@coolroy4300]

The voles seem to think my shade garden is their personal food pantry .One thing I have gound that works is covering the ground around my plants with river rock .

[@inspiringbuilds]

Great idea and low maintenance as well. These bait stations have been golden for me and I made a part 2 video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qImopZSlq7qqY80

[@leahkohman3881]

Do you have a link to the other method you mentioned in the video? I see the products linked, but I am not sure how to find the video. And I’m not sure that using poison is the best bet since I have a small dog. All of this makes me nervous because of that! My yard is a lumpy disaster 😭

[@inspiringbuilds]

Thanks for watching! Here is the link to the other video and I would feel safe putting those bait stations out in the links I provided with having a small dog. DIY Field Mice Bait Station: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qImopZSlq7qqY80

I’m glad it was helpful Jim and thanks for watching. If you haven’t got a chance to see the DIY bait station video I would recommend it as it will get rid of voles quickly and high quantities if you’re dealing with more than 1 or so which typically there are multiple.

I like those tunnels. Now I have to go pick a box out of the garbage that will work fine.

Thanks for watching. If you have a large amount or don’t want to mess with traps check out this video. DIY Field Mice Bait Station kzbin.info/www/bejne/qImopZSlq7qqY80

[@ericl2851]

How does this prevent other creatures, such as chipmunks or squirrels from getting injured with the traps?

[@inspiringbuilds]

I have never had another animal get injured, but it is possible. Since this video I have gone with these traps in the video below. Let me know if you need any help making them or sourcing anything. DIY Bait Station: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qImopZSlq7qqY80

[@ericl2851]

I have the little devils tunneling under the supports for my above ground pool. I’ve tried every deterrent. I even tried the blade drop type traps. Nothing seems to work. Their tunneling has actually created sinkholes under my pool liner. I actually drained the pool and will be doing a full liner replacement mid-Spring. I’m thinking i may need to pour deep concrete footings under the supports. And possibly use some sort of irritant in my sand padding under the liner.

[@chrish-4142]

I dont understand.. im doing all this, and in the morning the entrances are plugged shut, the traps untouched. So ill push the plug to the hole.. 6 hours later hole is plugged again...traps still set. And so on in a circle...ive tried gassing with my car, poison bait , flooding with hose, i also poured gas and transmission fluid down all the hole's, im going to the spca to get all the wild barn cars they have in the premises and try that next i guess. I cant use TNT because i live in the city with buried utilities

No voles were harmed in the making of this video :)

[@inspiringbuilds]

Thanks for watching! Did you happen to see the other video on building a DIY bait station to get rid of voles? They were get rid of a higher quantity in a short period of time of time.

[@sueprinc]

That is because this method is useless.....

[@whythehec]

Instructions unclear, Hit a gas line with nail and now I’m homeless.

[@inspiringbuilds]

Lol gas lines aren’t buried that shallow, but funny comment.

[@geraldfer]

I was told human urine could run voles away...any truth to that??

[@inspiringbuilds]

They don’t like the smell and it is possible, but if you’re just trying to make them run away quickly I would go with the pinwheels: Pinwheel to scare voles/moles away: amzn.to/3I8qcEq

[@geraldfer]

@@inspiringbuilds I can give that a whirl...thanks for the heads up 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@inspiringbuilds]

@@geraldfer You’re welcome, good luck with running them away. Keep in mind running them off always has a chance for them to return later. If you don’t like the traps I have another technique that will kill large colonies as well within a week with no traps. It’s a separate video on my channel and that bait works great!

[@inspiringbuilds]

[@equine2020]

@@inspiringbuilds How does a pinwheel work. I have a couple. Bu t just a simple pinwheel doesn't do anything to eliminate the moles . As pinwheel don't seem to do much.

[@chriscampbellcampbell2505]

I found as many of the holes I could under the slap for the side walk mixed diesel with gas poured it in every hole we could but when we lit it was a loud back kick we killed some but 7 rat's made it out stealing like pigs on two of the holes we didn't see no babies. And a neighbor behind me called the fire department when they showed up we hid inside but lawnmower was in front I told them yes it was some guy in a hot ride with a back fire that made me duck and told it was so loud I was surprised it didn't blow windows out drag because I did want too repeat it in about 6 months

[@bastienclarke1810]

Use gloves when working with the traps as the voles has a keen sense of smell and don’t like human smells.

[@inspiringbuilds]

@@bastienclarke1810 Yes, good tip and thanks for watching. I made a part 2 video after this one that is more effective especially for getting rid of several in a short amount of time: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qImopZSlq7qqY80

[@RDM-346]

Like squirrels, I imagine for every vole you get rid of, three more return. They have destroyed my grass and trying for my roses. I am trying castor oil and dawn to drive them out. If it ain't voles, or chinch bugs, or fungus, or dollar weeds, or crab grass, or nutsedge or..... I think i will go natural. Getting tired of spending a fortune when my neighbors all have dried up weeds and bahia grass anyway. 😅

[@260bill260]

I don’t understand the need for the nails. Once trapped, the voles ain’t gonna carry the trap away. It’s under a bucket.

[@inspiringbuilds]

Good question. The nail holds down the trap to avoid it getting flipped over prior to the vole getting captured. Once the vole is captured there is no concern if it would flip over or not.

I have stopped fighting the moles, I just let them do whatever they want to do.
