How To Identify A Vole

It’s not unusual to confuse a vole with a mouse, especially since they look almost identical. Voles have a shorter, stockier frame than mice, with small, dark eyes, a short and furry tail, short legs, and partly concealed ears. These critters can range in color from reddish-brown to gray to black. They’re relatively docile and not known to bite. However, voles can cause significant damage to your yard and landscaping. So, contact Miche Pest Control if you notice these rodents around your property.

Why Voles In Your Yard Can Be So Problematic

If you’re a green thumb or someone who loves beautifying their property with luscious greenery and other landscaping elements, voles become enemy number one with their highly destructive nature.

This can cost homeowners a pretty penny to restore their yard to its full glory.

Voles can also transmit disease through their urine and feces that they leave behind on your property. So, it’s essential to enlist the services of professional vole control to remove these rodents quickly.
