Looking for recommendations to get rid of voles in my lawn. I have a pile of wood on the edge of the lawn and wondering if the voles are making their home in it? Do you have a recommendation for a bait trap? Should I move the wood pile?
Thanks for your time!

You are probably right about moving the woodpile. Trapping works best when there are small numbers of voles. The following websites describe traps and how to use them.
