I have quite a big vole problem here. I also have quite a lot of snakes here, but it doesnt look like they are gonna do much about the voles 😛 i ve read about some highly effective traps that a local quality tree nursery uses.. i think i ll try those as soon as my budget allows 😎

[@BrokenGround]

They were brutal this year. So many gardeners are seeing damage as the snow has melted!

[@emptynestgardens9057]

Mouse traps consistently and old fashioned smelly Castor oil (from drugstore) drench around the areas you don't want them. Ratios and recipes I found here on KZbin 3 yrs ago and it works!

Thanks for the tips!

[@Shakespearept]

Yeah, they did a number on those Nanking cherries

[@BrokenGround]

They sure did! They also got some of my jostaberries in my food forest! So disappointing!

Try a Dachshund.

[@BrokenGround]

Yes! I've totally considered that for sure! I'm not sure our cattle dog would appreciate a smaller furry friend though. He's very suspicious of small dogs. But yes, I've considered a jack russell or a dachshund!
