    • Lifespan: On average, a vole can live from 1 to 3 years in the wild.
    • Diet: Voles are herbivores that feed mainly on plants, seeds and occasionally small insects.
    • Habitat: Voles can survive in a variety of environments, including meadows, fields and gardens, where they dig underground tunnels.

    • Woodland vole: Less common than the field vole, this species is also present in Quebec. It tends to prefer forested landscapes.

    Why intervene when voles are present?

    The presence of voles can indicate normal ecological activity in a garden. However, these rodents can become a source of concern if they actively damage plants and their roots.

    If this becomes a problem, it may be time to consider ecological and environmentally-friendly vole pest control methods.

    Impact of vole activity

    Vole digging and feeding activities can have a considerable impact on the appearance and structure of your garden.

    Effects on garden structure

    By gnawing on plant roots and stems, voles can cause both visible and underground damage. These activities can make your garden look messy and seriously affect plant growth and health.

    Impact on the garden ecosystem

    These common Quebec rodents tend to feed on young plants and seeds, which can affect the diversity of your garden and upset the ecological balance of your green space.

    If vole activity is beginning to take a toll on your garden, it’s possible to take appropriate, environmentally friendly pest control measures and restore a healthy balance.
