(Omaha, NE)  — The Vole Toll! Those pesky field mice can wreak havoc on lawns. “We’ve seen a lot of Vole damage in the Omaha area. Voles are prominent where snow was present. They burrow under the snow and cause lawn damage,” notes Dan Setlak, owner of Heartland Lawns in Omaha NE.

Vole populations can rapidly expand, in fact, each female can have 5 to 10 litters per year. So the sooner you get rid of the rodents - the better.  While Heartland Lawns Omaha NE does not handle vole exterminations, the Omaha turf health wellness company offers tips – several options on how to kill voles:

• Insert zinc phosphide pellets inside trails & burrow openings.  Warning: don’t apply to bare ground. Toxin can hurt birds, and be hazardous to crops
• Anticoagulant baits release a slow-acting toxin requiring from five to 15 days to take effect
• Use traps. May be effective if there’s not a lot of voles
• A mousetrap baited with peanut butter or an apple slice
