While TreeAzin is specifically designed to protect ash trees from the Emerald Ash Borer, it can also be used on other types of trees to protect them from other pests and diseases. The active ingredient in TreeAzin, azadirachtin, is a natural insecticide that is effective against a wide range of insects. However, it is important to note that the dosage and application method for TreeAzin may vary depending on the type of tree and the pest or disease it is being used to protect against.
Neem contains azadirachtin, a compound that acts as a natural insecticide. This makes it effective against a wide range of pests, including aphids, caterpillars, and beetles.
Azadirachtin works by disrupting the life cycle of pests, preventing their growth and reproduction. It also alters their feeding behavior, effectively reducing pest populations.
Neem oil, extracted from neem seeds, is a popular organic pesticide. It’s used in gardens and farms to control pests without harming beneficial insects or the environment.
Neem-based pesticides are biodegradable and less toxic compared to synthetic chemicals. This makes them a safer choice for pest control in agriculture and home gardens.
Neem products can be applied as sprays or soil additives. They’re effective in both preventive measures and active pest control, making them versatile for various crops and settings.
If the vole infestation is severe or if the damage they are causing is extensive, it is recommended to seek the help of a pest control professional like us at Birch Fumigators. We have the expertise and experience to identify the specific species of voles present and develop an effective treatment plan. Professional pest control services can offer advanced methods of control such as fumigation, which may not be safe or practical for individuals to perform on their own.
While voles are not known to transmit diseases to humans, they may carry ticks, fleas, or other parasites that can transmit diseases to other animals.
The best time to control voles is during late fall and early winter. During this period, vegetation is beginning to die back, and snow hasn’t yet fallen in many regions, making it easier to spot signs of vole activity and to apply control measures. Voles are active year-round, but in the late fall and early winter, they begin to establish the under-snow tunnels and pathways that they will use all winter. Implementing control measures, such as placing traps or baits, clearing away vegetation near the garden, or installing physical barriers, during this time can prevent a population explosion in the spring. Additionally, controlling voles before the breeding season in the spring can help minimize the damage they cause to plants and trees throughout the year.
Voles are not considered dangerous to humans or pets, but their activity can cause significant damage to vegetation and landscaping.
Voles can cause damage to lawns, gardens, and crops by feeding on vegetation and gnawing on the bark of trees and shrubs. Their burrowing activity can also damage root systems and disrupt soil structures.
Voles are herbivores and primarily feed on plant matter, such as grasses, roots, bulbs, and seeds. They may also feed on bark, fruits, and vegetables.
