Voles (also called moles) are a common rodent you’ll often find in your yard. These small mammals are very destructive, and have a long history of damaging gardens and farms. Voles often tunnel into tree stumps, rose bushes, and mulch beds. They also burrow beneath soil where they consume plant roots or chew on tree bark. The presence of voles can lead to major damage to your garden or crops, which is why they often need to be removed or prevented from returning. You can choose between one-time treatments or more lasting methods to keep voles away for good.Just like that pesky gardener at the country club who overuses pesticides and regular chemicals, voles can be a difficult pest to evict from your property. These little creatures are smart, fast, and know when it’s time for a feast. Luckily there are many ways you can get rid of voles naturally in your yard so you can enjoy gardening at home again.
Natural Pesticide For Voles
In order to control the vole population around your home, it is crucial to first limit their food and water sources.
In order to control the vole population around your home, it is crucial to first limit their food and water sources.
Remove water sources: Voles are known for their ability to tunnel through soil, so they will often dig up lawns in search of moisture. This can be a problem if you have a pond or fountain nearby that attracts rats or mice as well as voles.
Remove food sources: In order to prevent them from digging up your garden, remove any excess vegetation from your yard or cover it with mulch to deter digging.
Remove potential nesting sites: Voles are also known for being prolific breeders; if you see signs of nests in an area where voles have been active before (such as holes in dirt walls), this is an indicator that there may be many more voles living nearby than you first thought! Be sure not only take steps against pests but also take care not cause harm other wildlife such as squirrels or birds during the process – some pesticides might even kill those animals because humans don’t fully understand how these chemicals work on different species yet!
Once you have limited their food and water sources, you can begin using natural pesticides in order to keep them out of your garden.
After you have limited their food and water sources, you can begin using natural pesticides in order to keep them out of your garden.
Here are some natural pesticides for voles that work well:
- Diatomaceous earth – This is made from ground up fossils and it is not harmful to humans. It kills insects by drying them out and making their bodies brittle, so they die from exposure to sunlight or water. If you use this as a barrier around your garden area, it will not kill voles directly but rather make it harder for them to live in the area because they will have trouble getting enough food or water.
- White pepper – This powder has little-to-no smell and when sprinkled around the perimeter of your garden space (or other areas where voles may be) will keep them away due to its sharpness on sensitive paws/feet which causes pain whenever they walk over it again after having first been exposed once before being cleaned off with soap & water afterward too quickly afterwards leaving little time between uses overall causing discomfort during use leading up until death by exposure if left untreated long enough without treatment being sought out immediately following initial contact with powdery substance found throughout green spaces near homes often frequented by homeowners seeking respite from busy lifestyles while also allowing family members such as children playtime outdoors without worrying about safety concerns stemming from nearby dangers such as traffic accidents caused by vehicular collisions involving pedestrian movements along streets leading towards homes located nearby parks where families often gather together during weekends evenings when school ends early due lack attendance .
Catnip
Catnip is an effective natural pesticide for voles. It’s also easy to grow, and you can use it in many ways to help keep your garden or lawn free of voles.
If you have a problem with voles, it’s best to plant catnip near the areas where they are hanging out and explore. You may find that the smell of catnip will scare them off on its own.
To be sure they stay away from those areas of your yard where you want plants, sprinkle whole dried leaves over the soil at least once per month during late summer through early fall when their population is at its highest level. This will deter them from returning once they’ve been sprayed with this natural repellent!
Catnip is a well-known pest repellent for cats, but did you know that it can repel rodents as well?
If you’re looking for a natural pesticide that repels voles, try catnip. Catnip is a well-known pest repellent for cats, but did you know that it can repel rodents as well?
Voles are small rodents that are often mistaken for mice. They’re typically shorter than your thumb and have long tails covered in black fur and white tips. Because they eat plants and cause damage to gardens and crops, many people like to keep them away from their property. Catnip is an effective way of doing so because of its fragrance: when voles smell it, they associate the scent with predators (cats) who hunt them down! If these pests come across catnip plants during their search for food or shelter, they’ll be scared off by what appears to be an imminent threat from an animal larger than themselves—and will probably never return again after feeling threatened once already!
Plants contain the highest concentration of nepetalactone, which is the oil inside catnip that repels pests.
You may be wondering why your cat’s favorite plant is the one that keeps them away. The answer is nepetalactone, which is an oil that repels pests in plants and other animals. Catnip contains the highest concentration of this oil and it is what attracts cats to it.
Nepetalactone isn’t the only oil in catnip—it’s just the most important one!
Dried catnip leaves are available at most health food stores or drug stores. You can use them in your grain storage bins as well as spread them around your garden or lawn where voles are a problem.

Catnip works against voles, mice, rats, moles and other rodents because they are sensitive to chemicals found in this plant. For example some scientists believe that voles dislike the smell of the compound in catnip called nepetalactone. When you spread dried catnip leaves around your garden or yard it repels these small mammals from entering those areas and chewing your plants.
Blood meal powder
Blood meal powder is an excellent natural remedy when used in combination with other pest repellents. It’s a fine choice for voles who like to burrow under your home and garden, as it can be applied to the soil around your plants. Blood meal has been shown to deter voles, mice and rats from coming anywhere near it. It also works against moles, but they use their noses as well as their eyesight when they’re looking for food sources; blood meal may not be enough to convince them that this area is unsafe on its own merits.
