605-250-0082Effective, safe, and guaranteed solutions for lawn and garden vole problems
Voles may be small rodents, but they can cause extensive damage to your lawn, garden, and landscaping. These burrowing pests create intricate tunnel systems that damage root systems and create unsightly runways across your property.
At Insight Pest Control, we specialize in effective vole control strategies that not only eliminate current infestations but also prevent future damage. Our comprehensive approach targets these destructive rodents while protecting your valuable landscaping investment.
Our experienced technicians understand vole behavior and habitat preferences, allowing us to implement proven control methods specifically designed for the vole species common to the Sioux City area.
While voles aren't known to spread diseases to humans like some other rodents, they can cause significant damage to your property. Here's why vole control is essential:
Voles create elaborate tunnel systems just below the surface of your lawn, damaging grass roots and creating visible runways. They also consume plant roots, bulbs, and bark, often killing valuable trees, shrubs, and perennials. A single vole family can destroy thousands of dollars in landscaping in a short period.
Damaged lawns and gardens with visible vole runways and dead vegetation significantly reduce curb appeal and can lower property values. Professional vole control protects your landscaping investment and maintains your property's aesthetic appeal.
Voles reproduce extremely quickly, with females capable of having 5-10 litters per year with 3-6 young per litter. This means a small vole problem can quickly escalate into a major infestation if not addressed promptly and effectively.
Vole damage often increases during winter months when food is scarce and they're protected under snow cover. By spring, homeowners may discover extensive damage to lawns, plantings, and trees that occurred unnoticed during winter.
Our professional vole control services can protect your lawn and garden from these destructive pests.

The most common vole species in our region, meadow voles create surface runways in lawns and consume grass, seeds, and bulbs. They prefer areas with thick vegetation and can cause extensive lawn damage.
These voles create more complex burrow systems and are particularly destructive to garden plants. They often establish colonies in fields adjacent to residential properties before invading lawns and gardens.
Less common in urban areas but found in wooded lots, these voles primarily cause damage to tree roots and bark. They spend more time underground than other vole species, making detection more difficult.
Not sure if you have voles? Look for these signs: surface runways in grass about 1-2 inches wide, multiple small burrow entrances, gnawed bark on trees and shrubs near the soil line, and damaged bulbs and root systems.
Not sure what type of vole damage you're experiencing? Our trained technicians can identify the species and damage patterns to create the most effective treatment plan for your specific situation.
