Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between voles and moles?
Voles are small rodents that eat plants, creating surface runways and girdling trees. Moles are insectivores that create raised tunnels hunting grubs. Vole damage appears as eaten bark and plants; mole damage is primarily tunnel disruption.
How do I protect trees from vole damage?
Hardware cloth cylinders around tree bases extending 18 inches high and 3 inches below ground prevent bark girdling. Remove mulch and vegetation from tree bases. Keep grass short near trees. Gravel barriers around trunks deter voles.
Are your voles treatments safe for Brownington farms?
Yes. We use botanical and natural methods that are safe around livestock, crops, and stored feed. Our IPM approach protects Brownington's agricultural operations while eliminating pest problems.
