Vole Control Services

Voles are small rodents with a brownish-gray coat, often confused with moles or mice due to their similar size and appearance. These creatures typically measure between 5 and 7 inches in length and feature short legs, short tails, and compact bodies. While moles dig deeper into the ground, voles stay closer to the surface, carving out shallow runways that can wreak havoc on lawns and garden beds, damaging flowers, shrubs, and saplings in the process.

Proper identification of the rodent species is critical to choosing the right control method. Our licensed wildlife specialists can accurately determine whether you’re dealing with voles and deliver highly effective treatment solutions to get rid of the problem fast.

If you believe your yard or landscaping is being ruined by voles, don’t delay. Call Critter Bro today for professional vole control services throughout Western Nevada. We offer proven removal methods, state-of-the-art tools, and long-term strategies to keep voles away for good. Ask us about exclusion systems to secure your yard from future problems. Reach out now or complete our online form for a free vole control estimate.

Unlike many digging pests such as moles, voles don’t tunnel deeply beneath the soil. They construct shallow surface pathways that measure around two inches wide and crisscross lawns, leaving visible damage that worsens over time. Since voles often live in colonies, they can cause substantial lawn destruction in a short amount of time, leaving trails and creating small piles of disturbed earth.

These visible trench systems are just one sign of a vole infestation. Other red flags you might notice include:

  • Sections of grass that turn brown, wilt, or die suddenly
  • Bite or chew marks found at the base of shrubs and trees
  • Missing vegetables or garden crops that have been partially eaten


Vole nests are usually hidden in areas with shelter, such as beneath old pieces of wood, heavy brush, metal sheets, dense weeds, or ground debris made of dried grass.

If any of these signs are present on your property, take action right away before the damage spreads. Call Critter Bro or submit our online form to get a no-cost vole control inspection and estimate in Western Nevada.

Though voles are not known to be hostile, they are still a potential threat to the health of both people and pets. These wild animals can act as carriers for several infectious diseases, including:

  •  Plague
  •  Tularemia
  •  Hantavirus
  •  Listeria


When approached or cornered, voles might respond with a scratch or bite. Because of these risks, voles should never be handled by untrained individuals. Always rely on experienced wildlife professionals for safe removal.

Using store-bought poisons or chemical treatments to eliminate voles is not recommended, as these can lead to unintended damage to your yard, pets, and surrounding vegetation. The safest and most efficient method is focused trapping. At Critter Bro, our team specializes in humane vole trapping and fast removal. We take a strategic approach to eliminate the infestation and help preserve your landscaping investment. Get in touch today for a complimentary vole control quote.

Preventing voles from becoming a recurring issue takes a comprehensive approach involving habitat alteration, physical barriers, and repellents. Modifying the environment where voles thrive is among the most effective long-term strategies for prevention.

 

Vole Prevention Tips:

  1. Remove Food Sources: Clear your yard of grubs, insects, dropped fruit, and leftover garden waste that voles might consume.
  2. Change the Habitat: Mow your lawn regularly, cut back overgrown foliage, and avoid thick mulch that offers shelter.
  3. Install Protective Barriers: Use hardware cloth or steel mesh around garden beds and tree trunks. Bury fencing at least six inches deep and keep it extended above ground level. Shield tree bark with wire to stop chewing.
 

Our experts at Critter Bro also offer preventative vole services tailored to your property. We can install long-lasting perimeter defenses and protective systems around trees to prevent future intrusions.

Voles can cause widespread lawn destruction, leaving behind dead patches and shallow pathways of churned-up soil. They are notorious for damaging ornamental plants, fruit trees, and shrubs by gnawing on stems and consuming roots. In some cases, they will even strip bark from trunks, which can be fatal to young trees. Attempting to catch or remove voles on your own can be risky, as they are known carriers of dangerous pathogens like Hantavirus and Tularemia. Let the professionals handle it.
