A Vole-gar Problem

Garden 20060713 002.jpg

With fencing, mousetraps, and the new dog, we have eliminated almost all our varmint problems-- except one. Voles continue to dig and eat our garden. Here they've partially excavated an onion. The empty space used to be filled with pepper plants, but they got eaten.

A vole acts much like a mole, digging holes and coming out at night, but it is much more like a mouse in appearance. I thougth they were mice until I saw the holes and asked one of the locals.

Suellen thinks they may leave of their own vole-ition. Somehow I doubt it.
