Behavior and habits
They stay outdoors, carving surface runways through turf and tunneling under snow all winter.
Why voles are a problem
Spring reveals dead runway trails across lawns and girdled bark on young trees and shrubs.
How Antex handles voles
Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.
Prevention tips
Mow close in fall, pull mulch away from trunks, and install trunk guards on young trees.
