Naturally deterring voles from your property can be accomplished through several non-toxic and eco-friendly methods. Here are some natural vole deterrents:
Using a combination of these natural deterrents can help reduce vole activity on your property and protect your garden and lawn without resorting to toxic chemicals.
Castor oil is often used as a natural and eco-friendly method to deter voles. It works by creating an unpleasant environment for these small rodents. When castor oil is applied to the soil, it disrupts the voles’ sense of smell and taste, making the area less appealing. Additionally, castor oil can also affect the earthworms and insects that voles feed on, further discouraging their presence.
To use castor oil for vole pest control, mix it with water and apply it to the affected areas, such as gardens or lawns. The castor oil creates an unpleasant taste and smell in the soil, which encourages voles to seek food sources elsewhere. While castor oil can be effective as a vole repellent, it may need periodic reapplication, especially after heavy rainfall.
The responsibility for pest control in a rental property typically varies depending on the specific terms of the lease agreement between the landlord and tenant. In most cases, the landlord is responsible for ensuring that the rental property is free from pests and that necessary pest control measures are taken. However, some lease agreements may specify that the tenant is responsible.

There is a multitude of pests that may require the assistance of a pest control company. Pests such as ants, cockroaches, spiders, and mice are all common household pests that can be difficult to get rid of. Pest control companies have the experience and knowledge to target these pests specifically and remove them from your home or business.
German cockroaches are attracted to environments that provide them with the necessities for survival: food, water, and shelter. These pests are particularly drawn to areas with abundant food sources, including crumbs, spills, and garbage. They are omnivorous and eat almost anything, including food scraps, pet food, and non-food items like soap and glue. Water sources are equally attractive to them, so they are often found in kitchens and bathrooms, where they can find moisture from leaks, drips, or condensation. Shelter is another critical factor; German cockroaches prefer warm, dark, and humid areas where they can hide and breed undisturbed. This includes cracks and crevices behind appliances, inside cabinets, and anywhere that offers protection and proximity to food and water. Poor sanitation, clutter, and disrepair can create ideal conditions for cockroach infestations, as these environments provide ample hiding spots and breeding grounds. Therefore, maintaining cleanliness, fixing leaks, and decluttering are essential preventative measures to make your home less attractive to German cockroaches.
Red squirrels cannot breed with grey squirrels. Although they are both members of the squirrel family, they belong to different genera: red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) and grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have significant genetic differences that prevent them from interbreeding. These differences are not just genetic but also evident in their behavior, habitat preferences, and physical characteristics. Interbreeding between different genera in the animal kingdom is rare and typically only occurs among closely related species. Therefore, red and grey squirrels, despite sharing some habitats, remain distinct species with separate breeding populations.
