How to Prevent Voles From Getting Into the Garden
Are Voles Dangerous? What Is a Vole? Voles are rodents that closely resemble mice or hamsters. “ They are often called field mice because of their tendency to choose fields in which to live,” says Dr. Nancy Troyano, board certified entomologist for Ehrlich Pest Control. Although voles look like mice, they can be distinguished by their hair-covered tails, rounder heads, smaller ears and more stout bodies. Voles are small garden pests. According to Troyano, they grow between three to nine inches long. What they lack in size, they make up for in numbers.
