Ok, you made me choke on my lunch smoothie with that one!

You want to make it easer for the vole to go over the trap rather than around it.

I never heard that this was successful with voles but will definitely try it if we have them again AND I can find the hole. With as many as we had in the general garden, I was never able to find a hole, but we were able to see a couple in the raised cinder block bed. Thanks for sharing your method.
