For vole control, try coyote urine or cat urine or lots of cats, snakes, raccoons, owls, hawks etc. http://landscaping.about.com/cs/pests/a/vole_control_4.htm Voles haven't been a problem for us, but we are so far back in the woods that there are lots of the above predators. I keep telling my husband to only kill the poisonous snakes. I read a farmer complaining that voles got his root crop one year then never were a problem again. Hmmm. Voles do eat leaves. http://www.crittergetteronline.com/Voles/voleeat.html Nan in the Piney Woods of Texas At 09:34 AM 3/24/2010, cjmaness AT juno.com wrote: >I'm guessing then that no one measures exact amounts, as in 1/2 >ounce of lettuce, 1/4 ounce this or that?
