Vole control in St. Louis.

Winding trails across the lawn after the snow melts, chewed shrubs, holes at the base of trees. That's voles, not moles.

VOLE CONTROL IN ST. LOUIS

Vole control is treating the surface runways and burrows voles use, which is a different job than moles. In St. Louis, voles do the most damage over winter, eating grass, roots and bark under the snow. We identify voles vs. moles first, treat the active runways and burrows, and check back. Mole and vole jobs typically run $275 to $375, depending on yard size and activity.

WHY SPRAY FAILS

Why mole products don't work on voles.

Store-bought spray

  • Mole bait targets worm-eaters, not rodents
  • Traps only catch a few
  • Voles breed very fast
  • Heavy mulch and ground cover keep hiding them

Zero Pest

  • We identify voles vs. moles first
  • Treatment at active runways and burrows
  • Tips on mulch and cover that protect them
  • Follow-up check to confirm
HOW WE TREAT IT

Our vole treatment, step by step.

  1. Identify

    We confirm it's voles, not moles, and find the active runways.

  2. Treat runways and burrows

    Treatment goes where voles are actually traveling and nesting.

  3. Protect plants

    We point out trees and shrubs that need guards over winter.

  4. Reduce cover

    Thinning heavy mulch and ground cover takes away their protection.

  5. Check back

    At 30 to 45 days we look again. More activity is priced separately.

FAQ

Vole Control questions.

How do I know if I have voles or moles?
Moles push up raised ridges and volcano mounds. Voles leave flat, winding trails on the surface and small open holes. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
How much is vole control in St. Louis?
Mole and vole jobs typically run $275 to $375, depending on yard size and activity, with a follow-up check at 30 to 45 days.
Why is the damage worse after winter?
Voles tunnel under snow all winter, eating grass, roots and bark where you can't see it.
Will voles kill my trees?
They can. Chewing all the way around the base of a young tree can kill it. Tree guards help.
Is the treatment safe for pets?
We place it where voles travel and talk through pets and kids before we treat.
