St. Paul Vole
Control & Extermination

St. Paul isn’t necessarily known for its mild winters. Even though the calendar suggests the holiday season has arrived, Mother Nature isn’t paying attention. Nevertheless, the ruthless voles (meadow mice) certainly are aware of the mild temperatures and are feasting at a frantic rate. Soon enough the snow will fly and the vole populations that have been rapidly expanding will begin to decimate the local lawns as they create their refuge from the cold and collect their winter stores.

A vole’s job is never done. These not so lovely, furry little creatures are active day and night (though typically more active at night during the warmer months when they do not have the snow cover to provide the wonderful protection from predators that nightfall provides the rest of the year), 365 days a year. Mild winters cause an increase in their burrowing activity which means more trouble for St. Paul lawns and landscaping next spring. Voles dig short, shallow burrows and make underground nests of grass, stems and leaves. In areas with snow, voles will burrow in and through the snow to the surface.

To prevent vole damage it’s necessary to manage their population before it reaches high numbers. Once their numbers begin increasing rapidly, the damage they cause to ornamental and garden plants, as well as lawns, can be extremely severe. Paying attention to areas near heavy vegetation is critical in identifying potential trouble spots for voles.
