This is the only bait to use in riding your garden of voles. It really works! Bell's pelleted bait is manufactured from an advanced formulation that produces a fresh tasting, highly compressed pellet, noted for outstanding palatability and a long shelf life. Pellets hold up well in adverse conditions, making them a popular choice in moist conditions. The hardness of the pellet also satisfies the rodent's desire to gnaw. Rodents, however, can translocate pellets.

Pelleted bait is packaged in bulk pails

Habitat Management

Elimination of ground cover of weeds and tall grasses by frequent and close mowing, tilling, or herbicide application is the most successful and longest lasting method to reduce vole damage to orchards. This will diminish the amount of available habitat and reduce their numbers. Prunings left in orchards prevent proper mowing and provide a temporary food source, which may lead to damage by voles. Planting short grasses that do not mat or lodge, such as buffalo grass, blue grama, or dwarf fescues, will provide little protective cover and may reduce vole numbers.

Meadow voles are active during the day within their runways under thick grass and vegetation. Summer removal of vegetation (to within 2 feet of trunks of fruit trees) provides some protection because voles avoid exposed areas.

Damage to lawns can be reduced by close mowing in the fall before snow arrives and by mowing and removing tall grassy cover near lawns. To repair damage to lawns from runway construction, rake, fertilize and water the affected area. Close mowing and weed control in grassy borders adjacent to agricultural Crops will reduce the habitat for voles and should reduce damage. If suitable, plant crown vetch (a legume unpalatable to voles) in orchard and field boundaries to reduce vole populations.

Important predators of voles are short-tailed shrews, badgers, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, barn owls, great horned owls, long-eared owls, short-eared owls, barred owls, screech owls, and some snakes. Predators will not likely keep an orchard vole-free, but they can help reduce the vole population. Orchardists should tolerate predators and protect them if they do not constitute a pest problem.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN & PETS

We recommend putting ZP pellets down the borrow. Use when dry only. Place rock over borrow to keep non target animals from eating bait.

Voles can be killed with poison bait, and zinc phosphide bait is the most effective. Do not apply in wet conditions. A good thing about zinc phosphide is that there is little danger of poisoning to wildlife eating the dead voles, as there is from anti-coagulant or strychnine baits..

To Whom It May Concern:

I recently purchased some ZP Rodent Bait and want to tell you that it worked like a charm. I have previously tried other products and even installed a 1/2" mesh screen one foot deep about 8 feet to either side of the trench they were using to get to my vegetable garden, but they kept coming. Also used a beeping device that was touted as the real thing, and that did not do a thing.

So, thank you for getting the voles eliminated and for giving me a chance to plant some grass seed on the unsightly trench.
