Voles are often mistaken as mice, the only difference being the slight difference in size, voles being only a few grams bigger, along with a few other minor physical features.
But the main difference between mice and voles is where they lurk. Mice stay around homes or any other place where they may sense food.
While voles tend to stay outdoors, closer to ground where there are plants, mulch, long grass, etc.
They can still be found in homes, but are most commonly found in backyards or gardens where they will feed off of plants.
Voles are known to make runways underground by burrowing, making them harder to notice, or see in plain sight.
Some signs that you may have voles are burrows or holes in the lawn or at bases of trees, you will also notice shorter grass where their runways are located.
If you have plants that a vole has eaten, there will be a pointed tip at the stem.
If you see signs of mice or voles on your property, contact a pest control expert immediately.
