Would this product be effective against Voles?

Hi, A Vole is a rodent just like a rat is a rodent. If they eat this is will eliminate them. If not get you a pet fox :-) This rodentcide however is not to be left where it is accessable to cats and other small pet animals. It is supposed to emit a slight fishy odor and cats love that however it's bye bye kitty. They say this doesn't kill large breed dogs but they may have a severe tummy ache for a few hours. This rodentcide is supposed to cause internal hemoraging in rodents and thus eliminates the creature. Disclamer: I am not certified in any way to speak or advise on this product and am not responsible for any misuse or otherwise quoting or use of this information. You should ultimately call or contact the manufacturer of the product Ramik for proper use and application etc.

I use this for deer mice in northeastern Nevada, if the vole is like anything like mice it should work. I did have to break open the packets I put out, but they ate it all.

they seem to be mostly vegetarian in their diet so probably not it if they were your only problem but this stuff does work great and isn't that much....MIGHT BE WORTH TRYING

Yes, Ramik will effectively kill voles. It also kills rats, mice, birds and anything else that will eat it, so caution is advised. If you can find the tunnel of the vole, I would try and get the Ramik into the tunnel. I hope this helps.

I'm sorry. I don't know anything about voles. I don't think we voles in Texas. Did it say anything in the fine print of the product discription?

It can. Any varmint who tunnels. I have unintentionally caught a few voles even though my issue is gopher related. Happy hunting.

Yes voles are also call field mice. this stuff also does with moles. Buy it you will see for yourself how great a improvement. I am still very please with this product. No mice no mole no rodents. Yes Yes hip hip horray.

I don't think so. The batteries seem to be well contained inside but I don't think it would be all that water proof to use in the yard. I think for critters on an enclosed porch it would be fine, but not directly on the ground.It costs too much for me to advise you to take that chance. Plus, it works by putting cheese or peanut butter inside the top to attract the mice......I don't think voles go for that stuff, they eat underground roots I think.

I have had mole and vole problems for years. I am pretty good at trapping moles . Never figured anything out about voles. I don't believe the vinegar would get rid of moles and the only thing that keeps moles in your yard or field are the grubs and bugs. In order to get rid of those you would be defeating the purpose of trying to use the vinegar for killing weeds without chemicals. Trap those puppies.

I don`t have any idea about voles or gophers, we don`t have any where I live. As far as killing instantly, to my knowledge the answer would be yes. The moles are always dead when I pull the trap from the ground.

All of the above, lol. I was using it but turned out mine is a rat. It didnt work. I just bought Rodent Defense for rats we'll see how that goes. I believe if it had of been mice it may have worked. Good luck with your issue.

I'm not sure, I just know it works pretty well on small rodents... sorry I couldn't be of more help

I'm using it to kill voles in my gardens. I don't think they need water. It's pretty much nibble & die. The product smells bad so it's not used in the house. As for killing the voles we will never get rid of them, just control them. They eat flower bulbs, roots. And they do not sleep in the winter, so they chew the bark of the trees. The don't live in your home. You will only know if it is working by messing up their holes and wait to see if the whole was reopened. I stayed mouse traps but they get trap shy.. Smart little buggers. I would give this 5 stars

If you catch the varmint, then tie him down to the ground, then run over him with the tow-behind... yes, it will kill moles and gophers. But I don't recommend it for that purpose. lol

I am so sorry I can't provide any help to you. We bought this item to repel the neighbors goats. I don't know if this repellent worked or not as the neighbor decided to start penning his goats at the same time as I made this purchase. :/ I bought a different brand to discourage deer from eating my garden and it did work. I would recommend giving this product a try.

Think moles aer too small for this trap to be effective. It may work but I have not tried it as I use regular mouse traps for moles.

Hi Monika, I use this project mainly to deter squirrels from nosing around my bulbs and digging all over the place. I've never used it for mice but I can't help but think that it might work for mice and rats as well because of the ingredients. It seems to work a little for racoons and skunks so if it was me, I would try it and see how it goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Take care and all the best to you for the new year.

This product worked extremely well for my mole and vole problem. If the rats are in a confined space it will work. However, the carbon monoxide is dangerous and must be contained.

Since the Pest-a-Cator doesn't affect dogs, I'm not sure if it would be effective on raccoons or 'possums. I read that it will deter squirrels in attics if set up properly, however. Try contacting the manufacturer via their web site (also see their FAQ's); perhaps they can give you a better idea if the product might work for raccoons. It has worked well for our mouse problem!

Yes, I used it successfully inside and outside against mice when I lived in an RV. Works best spread in a known path, nest, etc. of the pest.

Not that I know of. My understanding is the product is effective by itself. You can check with your local pest control to see if your area requires more.
