Help! Vole eradification #928874

Asked April 19, 2026, 2:17 PM EDT

We have invested a lot in landscaping our lawn at our home on Newfound Lake. We have been in our home for 3 1/2 years and seem to have a chronic infestation of voles which can ruin our gardens. (surface trails all over the place). We also have an AirBnB 1 mile from us and that lawn also has voles. I find very little online that can eradicate them. Can you recommend anything. (At our house it needs to be pet safe to protect our little dog.) Thank you!

Is the product "Volex" worthwhile to help minimize or eliminate voles?
