I've had trouble with moles before. Well, I still do, but a piece of garlic in their runs usually keeps them away from the garden.

Now I've got a critter of a different type, I think might be a vole. I'm hoping somebody on this forum can tell me if it is, and what to do about it.

Starting in early winter of last year, I started noticing little holes in my flower beds, and plant roots eaten. They are small, round holes, usually at the edge of the bed, on the outside, or close to the house. They ate some bulbs, and the roots of two plants. They are still around, and although I'm guessing their food supply is better now, they are still making little holes and messing up areas of my beds. I have seeds to plant, and don't want them to make their homes here.

Is this voles? How do I run them off? Don't have tomcat...the last one died. Maybe that's why I now have this new problem. Somebody please help!!!
