Q: Last year, our yard was infested with voles. They ate the bark off several shrubs during the winter. We called someone to take care of this problem. They came out and sprinkled some poisoned food down in the vole holes and in their tracks. We spent about $300 for this first-time procedure, and then the company wanted $49 a month to do any additional treatments. So we did that for three months. They got rid of the voles.
The winter has passed, and now the voles are back. We don’t want to spend another $400 or $500, but we certainly want to get rid of the voles. Is there anything we can do? Are there any products on the market that consumers can buy to get rid of these little critters? We would certainly appreciate your advice.
