Any suggestions for best vole bait?
i use tomcat peanut butter flavored bait chunks from TSC. it works well.

I completely feel your pain. Between deer and voles no part of the fruit tree is safe from chewing during the winter months without protection/planning. For those in the south that don’t have to deal with snow pack, this is what voles do during winter in the north. They make tunnels and feed on vegetation, free from arial predators like hawks and owls (which feed readily on my population during the summer months. I have several breeding pairs that nest near by due to my high vole population).

I haven’t seen any actual damage to my fruit trees or blueberries but this was a very bad winter for vole activity.
