Voles
 

We have Voles at my house and I have never had an issue with them till last week when they started living in my Cross Ram. Every day I look and their are black pellets and Peanut shells...what to do? Also found a small bundle of jute padding on the floor this morning.

Any in-site to this varmint problem? Maybe he likes the smell of the Sunoco 112 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I always likes the good old wooden mouse trap baited with peanut butter and topped of with a couple sunflower seeds, I love to see the fruits of my labor [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Here is an old thread about dealing with mice - might be helpful.

Best mouse trap ever...5 gallon pail, coat hanger/wooden dowl, soda can, access ramp and a little peanut butter. The dryer sheets and soap are good to put in the car...but, this trap will net you a high return. Just be careful if you have pets with the antifreeze..

Something is baiting them. Remove any and all items that they can be attracted to. I keep nothing in my garage that will attract anything rodent wise. No food or shelter...no issues. I'd be leary about bringing more in with bait. Clean clean clean...

I use those plug in the wall noise makers to keep the rodents away. Plus I supplement dryer sheets and glue traps just in case..

Good thought though.

What ever they bring to feeding ground it leaves spots on the top plate of the X ram that brake cleaner won't take out. Will get a picture tomorrow morning if they come back. I'll leave the hood open to see if that helps.

Thanks...I have been in my house since 96 and never had a problem till...oh wait! We have been having the hardwood floors done and the dog has been next door for a few days...maybe that's it? Always had a dog in the house. Crap in garage from house may be it as well.
