This homeowner had a bad vole infestation in her front yard and backyard, so she called Little Rascals for help. Voles, also called meadow or field mice, are rodents with small eyes and partially hidden ears. They have stocky bodies, short legs, and tails and are about 4 – 8 ½ inches in length (depending on the species). Voles are active day and night, year-round, they do not hibernate and their diet consists of plants, especially grasses and seeds, as well as bark, crops, insects, and animal remains. You’ll know voles by the shallow snake-like tunnels that you’ll see all over your lawn. The tunnels are about two inches wide and very near the surface so they can eat their favorite food, grass stems, and blades. Voles construct tunnels with numerous burrows entrances and are especially manic in the early springtime.
The best way to handle a vole infestation is to use our Burrow RX. The Burrow RX is a carbon monoxide device that is an effective way to eliminate voles, and moles too. It uses a smoke-oil tracer that shows us where the majority of the carbon monoxide is going, how far we are reaching in the tunnel, and if there are any leaks. If we noticed any leaks, we fill them in. The gas isn’t toxic to humans because we are outdoors in a well-ventilated area. This method is much more humane than using a pesticide or a trap and it guarantees that we are eliminating the voles. There’s also no residual that is left behind, so the family is in no danger of getting a residue on them and the vole situation is properly taken care of.
A business owner in Skillman, NJ called our office after his maintenance crew found a rat in the crawl space. As soon as we began our inspection, we immediately noticed that the door to the crawl space was broken and was hanging on by a small hook. First, we carefully cleaned up the droppings and then installed several rodent bait stations throughout the crawl space and along the exterior of the building. We also scheduled several follow-up visits to replenish the bait stations as needed.
Although we offered to replace the crawl space door for the owner, he informed us that he will have his maintenance crew replace the broken door once the rats are gone.
