With any luck, they'll reproduce and eat all your voles and mice.


Speaking of which, anybody have a good technique for getting
rid of voles? They've really put a dent in my lawn.

I did some research over lunch and it seems voles do make some tunnels,
and do damage that way, but my experience is they used mole tunnels. I
also had been confusing voles and shrews. I have caught a few shrews
and since they eat insects they may have been after ants or other bugs
attracted to the trap. Voles are really a kind of field mouse which I
have alway called mice and never associated with voles. Now I know. I
have also caught a mole or two at the traps again I suppose they were
attracted to insects on the bait.
