Vole Removal and Lawn Protection Services
Vole Control Experts Serving the Greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area
Is your lawn in Gwinnett or Fulton County suddenly developing thin surface runways, soft soil trails, or dying grass patches? You may be dealing with a growing population of voles taking over your backyard.
While often mistaken for moles, voles are just as destructive and even more overwhelming for North Georgia homeowners. A single vole can reproduce a litter of 6-8 voles that reach full maturity within 3 weeks, quickly turning occasional sightings into full infestations.
Without proper exclusion, vole populations will grow rapidly, potentially causing hundreds of dollars in damage to your landscaping and garden.
Our vole removal services combine humane removal with proper exclusion, preventing voles from reestablishing colonies on your lawn ever again.

Voles Reproduce Faster than Moles, Overwhelming Homeowners
The Eastern Meadow Vole is the most common vole species affecting residential lawns in North Georgia, responsible for untold damage to lawns, turf, irrigation systems, and garden beds.
While these small critters are expert borrowers, they leave behind telltale signs that point to their activity and destructive ability:
- Visible surface “runways” in grass
- Small burrow openings near sidewalks or foundations
- Gnawed bark at the base of shrubs or young trees
- Soft, spongy turf areas
Because voles reproduce rapidly, small problems can expand into widespread turf damage within weeks without proper exclusion. Voles should be removed at their first sighting, as they become more difficult and expensive to remove as their numbers grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between voles and moles?
Voles and moles cause different types of lawn damage. Voles create shallow surface runways and visible grass trails while feeding on roots, stems, and plant material. Moles tunnel deeper underground and primarily feed on insects like grubs and earthworms. If you see narrow surface pathways and chewed plant bases, voles are the more likely culprit.
Are voles dangerous?
Voles are not aggressive, but they can damage lawns, gardens, and ornamental plants. They may also carry parasites common to rodents.
When are voles most active in Georgia?
Voles remain active year-round due to Georgia’s mild winters. Damage often becomes more noticeable in fall and winter when grass growth slows and protective vegetation thins, revealing surface runways and feeding areas.
Will voles leave on their own?
Unlikely. If food sources and cover remain available, vole populations tend to expand rather than relocate. Because they reproduce quickly, what begins as minor lawn damage can escalate into widespread turf destruction without intervention.
How fast can vole damage spread?
Voles breed rapidly, and a small colony can grow significantly within a single season. Surface runways can multiply in a matter of weeks, especially in irrigated or heavily mulched landscapes.
Can voles kill trees or shrubs?
Yes. Voles may chew bark at the base of young trees and shrubs, potentially girdling and killing the plant if left untreated.
