Vole Control in The Bay Area
Voles may be small rodents, but they can cause big problems for Bay Area homeowners. Often mistaken for mice, voles live outdoors and feed heavily on vegetation. They create shallow surface tunnels, leaving visible runways across lawns. Voles gnaw on the base of trees and shrubs, which can cause permanent damage or even kill young plants. Because voles reproduce rapidly, infestations can grow quickly if left unchecked.
Our Vole Removal Process
- Inspection – We carefully examine your lawn and garden to confirm vole activity and identify feeding damage.
- Treatment Plan – Our team uses targeted methods to eliminate active vole populations, including trapping or baiting when appropriate.
- Prevention Guidance – We’ll recommend changes like reducing mulch depth, trimming vegetation, and removing clutter to make your yard less attractive to voles.
- Ongoing Support – For high-risk areas, we offer ongoing monitoring to prevent recurring infestations.
Our vole exterminators provide a service designed to protect your lawn and landscape. We don’t just eliminate current vole activity — we help you understand what attracted them to your property and how to prevent them from returning.
What Does Vole Damage Look Like?
You’ll often see narrow surface runways in grass, about 1–2 inches wide, with visible droppings. Voles also strip bark around the base of trees and shrubs, which can girdle the plant and cause it to die.
Are Voles Harmful to Humans?
Voles are not aggressive toward people, but they can carry parasites such as fleas and ticks, and in rare cases, they may spread diseases. The bigger issue is the damage they cause to lawns, gardens, and trees, which can cost homeowners time and money to repair.
How Can I Prevent Voles in My Yard?
Keep your lawn trimmed, reduce dense ground cover, and avoid piling mulch too thickly around trees. Voles thrive in areas where they feel protected, so keeping your yard open and maintained is one of the best deterrents. For persistent issues, professional vole control is the most effective long-term solution.
