As snow melts, turf or grass damage can be seen prominently which is noticeable among the other rodent pests. Each year Lawn Care companies in Alberta received increasing numbers of Voles damages in residential back yards and lawn. Above surface often damages young trees and woody ornamentals by chewing at the base of unprotected stems, eventually girdling causes significantly dieback symptoms of affected plants or even plant death. In gardens, voles have been observed to gnaw on roots and crowns causing damage to plants such as parsley and celery.

Voles and moles have similarity in name pronunciation and underground tunnel makers, but two are totally distinct pests that are sometimes mistaken. Moles, voles and gophers all create tunnels and are active underground, but what they eat and the damage they cause varies. They all improve the soil by aerating it and mixing nutrients, but sometimes their habits get them in trouble with gardeners. VOLES; Voles (Microtus spp.) are small rodents, herbivores (eat vegetation), resembling Mice, but a distinct identification of them is " look like, Vole is missing half of his tail". Also, unlike mice, they are adapted for digging tunnels underground . Other hand, unlike moles you can see them on the ground during the day . In Alberta there are two Voles species Meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) or Meadow Mice and Prairie Voles (Microtus ochrogatser), both construct surface runways that are easy to recognize by the closely clipped vegetation within them. DIFFERENCE IN VOLES & MOLES ; Voles (rodent) & Moles are small mammals and quite different in shape, habits, and food they eat. Moles have small eyes, concealed ears, and front paddle-shaped feet designed for digging. Unlike voles, moles are mostly predatory, eating earthworms, grubs, and other soil-dwelling arthropods. Moles dig deep below-ground tunnels as well as surface tunnels. Near or around their tunnels entrances may have mounds of excavated soil, often called molehills.
Voles damage plants, Mole do not. Their tunneling activities, however, can disfigure lawns and gardens. The greatest risk is from burrows that wash out during heavy rains, posing a safety hazard. Prominant damge sings of voles is a dead or dying plant, grass, vegetable gardens, ornamental plantings, and young forest stock are all susceptible. There tunels, if adjacent to treee rootsystems, eat roots and chewing or “girdling” the main stem just above the ground.
