Hi-Yield Mole and Gopher Bait is not labeled for voles (also known as field mice). This of course doesn't mean it wouldn't kill them, it means that this product was not intended for this use. The reason for this is most likely because Hi-Yield Mole and Gopher Bait is intended for use underground or in covered areas only and voles tend to only have very shallow, open burrows or runway paths that are exposed. Voles can be tough to control during times when they are having a population explosion like you have described. You can place baits such as
Fastrac Blox or
Final Blox in
tamper resistant bait stations directly into the voles runways. Traditional
wooden mouse snap traps also can do a pretty good job in eliminating these pests. Please take a few minutes to read over the
Vole Control article for more hints and tips for successfully controlling the vole population on your property.
