No metaphore here. Real voles, real problem, they have taken over my garden. They have damaged and killed tons of my plants.

I like them, they are pretty cute, however the damage is pretty great. I don't want to kill them, just want them to relocate.

The other problem is my garden is along side my house. It's fairly large and wide with a pond and lots of ground cover as well. Which I realize now is a happy haven for the voles. And I am not talking a few here, there is a lot of them. Will they attempt coming in the house? Like mice do? They are always runnning along the patio doors.

It's nearly winter here but I read that they will use the snow as a cover as well. Not sure what to do about these guys...

Anyone have experience with voles?
