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. Stuart |

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. -- Wes Dukes (wdukes.pobox@com) Swap the . and the @ to email me please. is a garbage address. |
