Identification
- Voles are small, stocky rodents, similar in appearance to mice, but with shorter tails, smaller ears, and a rounder face.
- They typically have dense, brown or gray fur.
- Voles create distinctive surface runways in grassy areas, a clear sign of their presence.
- Their burrow entrances are often found around the base of trees or in dense ground cover.
- In South Carolina, the most common species are the Pine Vole and the Meadow Vole.
Habits
- Voles are primarily herbivores, feeding on grasses, plant roots, and bulbs.
- They are most active at dawn and dusk, but can be seen at any time of day.
- Voles often create extensive tunnel networks in the soil, which can damage plant roots and grass.
- They have a high reproductive rate, leading to rapid population growth if not managed.
- Voles typically do not enter homes but can be a significant problem in gardens and landscapes.
Prevention
- Regularly mow and maintain your lawn to reduce cover and food sources for voles.
- Use protective barriers around trees and shrubs to prevent girdling and root damage.
- Remove or reduce ground cover, such as mulch or leaf litter, where voles may hide.
- Consider planting vole-resistant plants in areas where vole activity is high.
