What is Voles? I have moles—is a vole a cousin?
See post #8.
Most people know them as field mice. 🙂
My “ranch” is called ‘Vole Haven’
I’ve tried the noise maker battery powered stakes they sort of work, but I found the most effective for me was to kill off (or reduce) the food supply with that bug killer spreader pellets (2x), but even that is iffy. Barn cat might work, and I have a couple of cats (one mayoral cat and one stray that I don’t discourage), but even a really gusher of a weather system seems to drown them out just for a bit.
Sooo.... I have heard of flax seed oil supplements or castor oil gels, which I have yet to try).
The quest continues...
They’re like a mouse but they don’t like peanut butter or other baits that mice do. Had a lot of luck with moles using scissor traps. If you ever need help, let me know and I can tell you what’s worked for me.
