Voles!

We have a large herd of voles whose favorite place to romp is in my mini hosta bed!  

Difficult critters to get rid of! They eat most anything but love to dine in the roots of small plants which results in the plants dying over time.  They live underground in tunnels but romp away on top of the ground at night running from tunnel opening to tunnel opening. I've been stuffing their holes with rocks too large for them to move but they just dig a bit further along and open another hole! We've tried several different traps, etc. with minimal success until now!

In just 7 days (nights) we have caught 8 of them with just two traps!  (and we were gone 3 nights and couldn't reset the traps!)

Here is what they look like:

A vole is 5-9 inches long including their tail!

Bait for the trap is peanut butter with a bit of oatmeal mixed in!
