Voles are small, mouse-like rodents that live in grassy fields, gardens, and wooded areas, where they create shallow burrows and extensive surface runways. Unlike moles, voles primarily feed on plants, including roots, bulbs, and bark, which can lead to significant damage in gardens and landscapes. They are active year-round and reproduce quickly, often resulting in large populations that can harm vegetation. Voles tend to stay close to their burrows, using grasses and ground cover for protection from predators. Effective control includes reducing ground cover, protecting young trees with barriers, and managing vegetation to limit food sources.

Meadow voles occur throughout most of the northern and eastern United States and Canada in low wetlands, open grasslands, and orchards. They are most active above the ground, as evidenced by surface trails-often littered with droppings and grass cuttings in the ground vegetation where they live. They sometimes live underground where the soil has been cultivated or where a burrow system is already present.

Pine voles live throughout the eastern half of the United States and favor open woodlands and orchards. They spend much of their time in underground burrows and usually have an extensive subsurface trail system that is excavated about 3 to 5 cm (1 to 2 in.) deep. These burrows open to the surface and often connect to above-ground runways.

Woodland voles are found primarily in the eastern United States, favoring deciduous forests, grasslands, and meadows. They are adapted to a largely subterranean lifestyle, creating extensive burrow networks typically 2 to 4 inches deep. Their burrows open to the surface and often connect to well-worn paths in the vegetation above, providing easy access to food sources and escape from predators.

Rock voles, also known as yellow-nosed voles, inhabit the northeastern United States and eastern Canada, preferring cool, moist forest floors with rocky outcrops and dense ground cover. They live in shallow burrow systems under rocks, logs, and moss, often near water sources. These voles are less social than other vole species and spend much of their time alone, foraging for vegetation, fungi, and mosses.
