Eliot Coleman showed us a slide of the trap he uses for meadow voles. He
also showed us the meadow vole stomp, which was very amusing! I wish I'd
asked the size of the box. Two spring traps fit inside it easily. It's a
wooden box with a removable top. Cut a "mouse hole" in one side. Set the
unbaited traps, close the cover and leave it. Voles like to go into cozy
places. Marada Cook said this also works with a cardboard box. I don't
know if it will work for mice but it's worth a try.
