Voles are known for their rapid reproduction rates.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A single female vole can have 1-5 litters each year<\/a>, with each litter typically having 3-6 young voles, but sometimes as many as 11 babies! They can have a litter every 35-40 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voles are herbivores, meaning they primarily eat plants. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They consume a wide variety of vegetation<\/a>, including grasses, roots, bulbs, seeds, and crops like potatoes and carrots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Voles are skilled diggers.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They create intricate surface and underground tunnel systems for nesting and foraging<\/a>. These tunnels can extend for several feet and provide shelter from predators and harsh weather conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Voles are an important food source for many predators.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These include owls, hawks, foxes, snakes, and even domestic cats. Their abundance and high reproductive rate make them a vital part of the food chain in many ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voles undergo seasonal changes in their fur color.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some species sporting lighter coats in the winter for better camouflage in snow-covered environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pests that can be confused with [pest name format=”plural-lower”].<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Voles are often mistaken for mice and are sometimes even called meadow mice, but they are different rodents. Sometimes, people mistake voles for moles, as well, but moles are not rodents and are much bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs of an [pest name format=”lower”] infestation.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You might already know for sure that you have an [pest name format=”lower”] problem. Here are a couple of the most common signs of vole infestation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Tunnel systems<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Voles create an extensive network of surface tunnels, which are visible, and underground tunnels, which can sometimes be detected by gently probing the soil with a stick or shovel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Burrow openings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Look for small, round openings in the ground, often hidden beneath vegetation or debris, which lead to the voles’ underground tunnels and nesting chambers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Gnaw marks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Voles gnaw on the bark of trees, shrubs, and other plants near ground level, leaving distinct tooth marks that can cause damage to the vegetation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Feeding damage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Voles consume a variety of plants, so evidence of gnawed or damaged vegetation, including grasses, roots, bulbs, and garden crops, may indicate their presence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
