Voles are becoming an increasing concern for homeowners in Saratoga Springs and throughout Utah County. These small rodents are often mistaken for mice due to their similar appearance, which leads many residents to misidentify the real cause of lawn and landscape damage. If you haven’t seen them directly, it can be hard to tell whether the surface trails and damage in your yard are caused by voles, moles, or gophers. Because treatment methods vary depending on the pest, correctly identifying the problem is key to effective control.
Voles are small rodents that are similar to mice but are larger with a thicker build and very short tail. Their coats are typically a brown or gray color, allowing them to blend in well with brush and dirt where they spend most of their time burrowing. Whereas gophers and moles live alone, voles live in vast colonies. If you’ve seen multiple critters, chances are that you have voles.
The best way to tell if you have voles is to look at the trails left behind in your yard. Voles live underground and burrow in large networks that will leave trails in the grass. While gophers and moles leave raised ridges or mounds on the surface of the ground, vole trails leave rivets or cracks in the ground because they are closer to the surface. Voles also leave behind small holes, about the size of a golf ball, instead of large holes like gophers and moles make.
Voles are vegetarians and will feast on grass, flower bulbs, root vegetables, and shrubs, leaving your landscape in turmoil. Additionally, voles are prolific breeders and since they don’t hibernate, their populations can get out of hand very quickly.
A single vole may not seem like much to worry about, but voles can spiral into a big problem in no time. Voles are active all year, which means you can’t wait them out before treating them. When you hire Nature’s Balance Pest Control, you can rest assured that we’ll take care of your vole problem, no matter how big. You can also expect:

Yes, voles are a growing issue in Saratoga Springs, especially in areas near open fields or new developments. They can cause extensive lawn damage with their surface tunnels and feed on roots, shrubs, and young trees.
Typical signs of vole activity include winding surface trails in the grass, chewed plants or shrubs, and small entry holes near garden beds or landscaping. Unlike gophers or moles, voles tend to stay close to the surface and are most active during cooler months.
