What is a vole? Voles are small rodents that people often mistake for mice. In general, voles are smaller than mice, but have stockier legs, shorter tails and small, almost hidden ears. Typically brown in color, their underside is a light yellow.

Voles are widespread over North America, Asia, Africa and Europe. They prefer rural agricultural areas or places with large gardens or parks. Voles favor eating vegetation. If you are noticing some of these critters around your garden, try to limit the piles of vegetation or mulch in the area.
