Voles in The Garden

Voles, resembling small hamsters, can quickly infest gardens, posing a threat to plants and vegetables. With a diverse diet including leaves, seeds, and bulbs, they can cause significant damage. These rodents live underground, creating extensive tunnel systems and storing food. To control their population, attracting natural predators like snakes, owls, and hawks can be effective. Additionally, implementing measures such as clearing garden debris, using mesh barriers, and turning compost regularly can help manage vole infestations.
