Vole

Vole

Voles are mouselike creatures who commonly die in their first month alive. The bigger they are, the slower they die. It has been said that only 12% of voles live to see their first month. 88% die within that month. Voles can usually be found near water, but are common and are found everywhere.

One time, my Dad set out a mouse trap because we were having mouse problems- so he thought. What he caught wasn't a mouse, it was a vole that had lived to see it's second year. It's SECOND YEAR- and Dad killed it.

Litters of voles typically range from 5-10 young- so just having one pregnant vole in a yard can result in over a hundred of the little pests running back and forth in your yard and your home. How obnoxious!!!
