Do Voles Live Underground?

Voles like to burrow. Voles do much of their work underground, but there is no visible tunnel or mound of dirt above ground when they build their tunnels. Voles leave exit holes above the ground, but their tunnels are much deeper than those of gophers and moles. A vole travels underground to target your plants.

Do voles ever come out of the ground?

While mice infest homes, voles can create pest control issues of their own outdoors. These small nuisances dig out shallow runways on the surface of the ground which they use to get around.

How do you get rid of underground voles?

Voles can be removed humanely from a yard by using live traps, or they can be exterminated with mouse traps or bait traps (which use poisons). They can also be deterred by fencing and driven away with vole repellents.
