How do voles cause damage?

You can see the difference between a vole and a mouse by their physical appearance. Voles have a rounder body with a shorter tail than mice. They also tend to be browner in coloration, while mice are typically gray or white. In terms of size, voles are typically smaller than mice. Another difference between these two animals is that voles create runways through grassy areas, while mice do not. You can also tell the difference in their behavior. Voles are more likely to be active during the day, while mice are more likely to be active at night.

Voles are not considered dangerous to humans or pets, but their activity can cause significant damage to vegetation and landscaping.

Knowing Vole Behavior

However, their burrowing and feeding habits can indirectly lead to more significant issues. Voles are known for their potential to damage lawns, garden beds, and the root systems of plants. This can include eating the bark or roots of young trees, which might lead to the plants’ harm or even death. While these rodents do not directly harm humans, their activities can significantly disrupt outdoor spaces and landscaping, creating inconvenience and potentially leading to costly damage over time.

The Indirect Impact of Voles

Moreover, voles can attract other wildlife predators, including cats, which might lead to increased predators in your yard or garden due to the voles’ activities. Although voles are not poisonous to cats, their presence can create a cycle of predator and prey that disrupts the natural balance of your outdoor space.

When to Seek Professional Help

When the activity of voles becomes problematic, or their population begins to cause noticeable damage, it might be time to consider professional intervention. Pest control professionals have the tools, knowledge, and experience to address vole infestations effectively, mitigating the potential damage to your property and restoring the health and beauty of your outdoor spaces.

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.

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.
