Vole Control & Prevention: At a glance
Vole infestations are a very common problem throughout Connecticut, especially in suburban lawns, gardens, and landscaping. These small, mouse-like rodents can quickly multiply and cause serious damage by tunneling under your grass, destroying roots, and chewing on bulbs, shrubs, and young trees.
DIY vole traps and store-bought repellents often provide only temporary relief. They rarely solve the full infestation, and once the voles become established, they can be extremely difficult to control without professional help.
Whether it’s eliminating an active infestation or being proactive with preventative maintenance, we’ve got it covered in Farmington Valley and it’s surrounding towns.

Voles are small, stocky rodents often called meadow mice. They have short tails, blunt snouts, and feed mainly on grass, roots, bulbs, and bark. Unlike moles, they create shallow surface runways instead of deep tunnels. Voles rarely enter homes but can quickly damage lawns and gardens.
Look for narrow, winding runways in grass or mulch about 1-2 inches wide. You may also see small burrow holes and clipped vegetation. Gnawed bark at the base of trees and shrubs is another common sign. Damage often appears suddenly in spring after winter activity.
Voles are active year-round, but damage is most noticeable in spring after snow melts. Their population peaks in fall and early winter. They breed quickly, with females producing several litters per year. Early action whenever they are initially observed gives the best control and prevention results.
Yes, vole problems can be effectively controlled and prevented with the right approach. Combining habitat modification where possible, trapping, and barriers usually gives good results when mixed with professional intervention. Consistent yard maintenance also helps inhibit them from rapidly overpopulating.
