Voles questions from Rutland Area residents
Voles create surface runways through grass and can kill young trees by girdling bark. Their tunneling damages lawns, and they eat bulbs and perennial roots. Damage often appears after snowmelt.
Voles are mouse-like rodents that eat plants. Moles are insectivores that tunnel deeper. Vole damage includes gnawed plants and surface runways. Mole damage includes raised tunnels and soil mounds.
We install hardware cloth cylinders around tree bases and pull mulch away from trunks. Keeping grass short removes cover. These measures protect bark from winter girdling.
Voles eat bulbs, root vegetables, and perennial roots. Hardware cloth barriers buried around gardens exclude them. Removing mulch and dense groundcover reduces harborage near plantings.
