Vanity: Getting Rid of Voles
Posted on 12/19/2021 1:47:49 PM PST by Mean Daddy
Finding out that not much works for voles. Trying a product called Volex but not holding my breath. Tracking powders look promising provided they walk through it and groom but powders are hard to come by. Thinking about getting a car battery, putting two rods in the ground and picking them off with a pellet gun. I know they have rodent systems that puts propane and oxygen in the hole, ignites and instantly kills but can't find anyone in my area that does that. Not sure I want to go that route either since it's a neighborhood.

I’ve battled gophers (cousins of voles) for 30+ years. I’ve used traps for ~5-8 years now and have it well managed. The new traps that work are called gopherhawk. My son hired an exterminator, and this was his tool of choice. All the other recommended solutions are a waste of time. I’ll offer 1 last bit of knowledge that I’ve picked up over the battles: if you don’t get a body you didn’t get your prey. Happy hunting! Ed

Get a couple of cats. Don’t feed them much.
