Meadow mice (voles) are underground rodents which are bigger than common house mice. Their furry brown and black bodies are about 5’’ to 8’’ long with shorter tails and legs. They have a blunt snout and are round-headed. The eyes are relatively small and dark while ears are very hairy.
You shouldn’t confuse a vole and a mouse. The distinguishing feature is the length of the tails: a vole’s tail is shorter and less than half the length of the entire body, while a mouse tail is quite long and more than half the length of its body. Do not be intimidated by voles. Call our customer care number - (707) 200-6638. Habits and food These rodents carry on with their nasty activities 24/7. But they are mostly active as the dark sets in and very early in the morning. They live under burrows constructed in discreet places like garbage pits and decks. They make surface paths that lead to their hoods as well as feeding spots near vegetation. |

Vole control Services - Vallejo, CA
Inside vole holes, you would find both adults and young ones. They can also inhabit abandoned burrows which were formerly used by other animals like moles. Their predators include snakes, hawks, foxes, cats, owls, and raccoons. They don’t survive for longer periods since they have many enemies and will only make it up to 2 to 16 months.
The most common places to find a vole is a grassy field or a place with heavy vegetation cover.
Destructive Activities
When they infest your land, they make holes in garden as they eat plants. They take down almost any crop plant thereby reducing productivity in agricultural lands as well as crop nurseries. Sometimes they feed on dead animals, insects, and slugs.
Reproduction
They mate throughout the year with summer and spring being their peak reproductive season. A female can bear up to 30 offspring in a year. They begin reproducing as soon as they reach one and a half months old.
