Voles
 

I'd appreciate any suggestions for managing voles in a lawn. What works
best to get rid of the pesky critters? Thanks for the help.

A mousetrap, a bucket, a stick and a brick work. Set the trap with a
peanut and a smear of peanut butter. Place it on the ground, and turn
the bucket over on top of it. Put the stick under one edge. A scrap 1x1
will work, then put the brick on top the bucket.

Rat/mouse poison will work, but you need a bait station to cats and
dogs and such can't get to it. I cobbled one out of wood with an
entrance at each end and a bit of wire at each end to keepout the large
critters. It is hinged for easy reloading. Have not had to use it
this year, but last year it worked.

I have heard it works well from my Grandmother.
She has to avoid poisions because she is near a river.
