Voles Cause Damage To NJ Lawns And Gardens

Meadow voles and pine voles are the two most common types of voles that are found in New Jersey report pest control experts in Ocean County, NJ.  Meadow voles can grow up to 7 ½ inches long, including the length of their tail and the pine vole will grow up to 6 inches long, including their tail.  Pine voles are easily distinguishable by their short stubby tail that is about the size of their foot.

Meadow voles are constant nibblers that will eat their weight in vegetation each day.  In addition to eating, pine voles will gather their food and store it in their burrows.  Pine voles eat a wide variety of roots, timbers, insects, seeds, fruit, bark and underground fungi.
