Small, ground-dwelling rodents with short legs, short tails and chunky bodies, voles have brown or grey fur. Burrowing themselves into root systems of shrubs and trees, a criss-cross system of lawn runways is a sure sign that voles have invaded your garden.
Active creatures year-round, voles don’t hibernate and tend to gnaw on tree bark when food is limited during winter. If these rodents have been running riot on your property, choose vole removal from Terminix Canada’s Newfoundland branch.
Voles inhabit fields and lawns with ample vegetation and coverage. Not only does mulch and weeds provide voles a food source, it is a great hiding spot too. Plant debris like excess brush and weeds attracts voles, as do woodpiles. Preventing vole infestations involves removing vegetation and storing wood away from the house. By regularly mowing your lawn and thinning out any dense groundcover, voles are less likely to stay where they’re not wanted.
If you’ve suffered a vole infestation in St. John’s or across the province, put your faith in Terminix Canada.

Prolific breeders, voles reproduce young year-round with some capable of producing 5 to 10 litters a year with 3 to 6 young voles per litter.
Voles cause extensive damage to fields, crops, gardens, and plantings. Voles are discovered in fields and lawns with ample vegetation and coverage.
Cutting back brush and weeds deters voles. Regularly mowing lawns and removing woodpiles can help too.
