Hi -- my n'hood has lots of cats .... and they love to visit my yard to eat birds and frogs! Maybe they'll catch a vole sometime, but .... my gardens are fenced, so cats don't go in those, and those are the primary vole-infestation areas. Complex situation.
I'll bet this has been done to death at this site, but I'm new, so .... here goes:
I've been on my (city) property 17 years and never saw a vole or vole damage (to my knowledge). Lately, holes're popping up in the garden, and worse yet, around 2 young apple trees. One seems dead -- no leaves...
