I forgot to mention guineafowl, which can learn to eat voles.  Turkeys (a closer relative than chickens, which I've never witnessed eating a vole) might be more effective, but guineafowl also lay eggs.  Out here in the near wilderness, it takes too much effort to protect guineafowl from predators to think that we could train them to eat voles AND expect them to be around for a few years, but in your situation, it might work.
