how much do I need to use in each vole hole?

I put one scoop (supplied) in a hole. I also scatter some pellets here and there along their runs in the grass .. they eat as they travel through .. you should begin to see "bodies" in a few days after using. Put some against the wall in your garage too , voles rarely enter the house but they will venture into the garage . GOOD LUCK!!

Never tried it in a Mole Hole, I am guessing though about 1-2 Tablespoons should do the trick.

For mice I used about a tablespoon and applied about once a week or after a rain. For voles you might try more or more often.

No. The holes are about 2mm X 2mm square. This equates to mesh size 9 or 645 holes per sq inch. It is recommend to to have mesh size 30 and above for no-see-um which have holes about 0.6 mm X 0.6 mm square.

I used two for half acre, one on each side of my house. Not sure how much area one trap can cover.

I'm pretty sure you dont need extra holes. There are times that I've left them in there for a couple of days, accidently, and they are fine. But the trap is full of poop. I'm glad you're concerned about their welfare. They are so cute!

I'd recommend two boxes, better to have some to do your roots if you don't need all of both of them. You can mix up one box, if it isn't enough, add some from the other, with more water.

Use them in an active runway. I would use 2-3 worms about 3 feet apart. Activity should subside in a week. I would flatten the mounds if you see new activity shortly after baiting, but no need to re-apply unless activity persists.

I have about 3 acres in the same condition, but I've only worked on about 1/3 of that, or about 1 acre. I've caught 49 gophers in the last 6 months. The trick is to dig away from a hole to find the main tunnel and then put a trap going in each direction. I use the medium mole traps and the small gopher traps. It is weird but there are distinctly two sizes of gophers in my yard, a large variety that leaves large holes that require the bigger trap and a small variety that require the small trap. I'd start with the medium mole size if you live in CA and have pocket gophers. Good luck!

I sealed a five gallon tank and didnt even use an eighth of the pint once the excess was all drained. Hope this gives you an idea of how much you'll need for you're project.

I think it takes three (3) D batteries, they emit a random tone or beep. Unfortunately they don't bother the mole/voles or any of the other tunnel burrower's/rats. I have eight of them four in the front and four in the back. the critters burrow right up and around them!!

It depends on the type of infestiation you have. If you see droppings or termites flying and you are able to see which part of the structure the're coming from, you would then drill several hole around the original hole andfill those holes with the product.

no bait. I bought a large container, but haven't used it all because it killed all my voles :-)

Since only one person even came close to answering your q....and they were just guessing....they are all wrong. you only need about 10% at most, of this in relation to all other soil components per square foot. it works wonders. you can consider buying and working your own worm farm later when you see the results, that way you dont ever need to buy this again with your own worms, anddddddddddd.....you get to go fishing with free bait, besides, which is cool....@ about $3 a dozen for fishing worms, these days! Good luck to ya, Jaz Mom edit = i take that back, i misread vintagepksweetie's post, my fault......she wasnt guessing, she is dead right, and what i said agrees with her, its about 10% of the volume = worm poopy.

Thanks you for your quick response. Bit I guess I still don't quite understand. The directions say to either use them on primary runs (which I guess are the little ridges just below the surface), exploratory runs (which I didn't understand), or in the deep tunnels (which I guess is right inside the little volcanoes or mounds they dig. I have tons of mounds, so I thought I'd drop the worms in there first, unless that is not the best option. Right now, I've smashed all the mounds down and will check which ones reappear. Thanks again.

Hi, I had the very same problem (note had), I cut the blocks in half and laid the pieces (usually underneath the patio) where I believed they "traveled" the most. Voila! they ate all the pieces, after laying a second batch I noticed not all the pieces were gone/eaten, we did not see any more voles/field mice. I left the uneaten pieces in place - no more mice so I have removed the residue.

Sort of. The worms are in a small tray - individually - but the tray is one package, so when you open it you have opened all. But the package also has a closure on it, like a ziplock baggie. It is my understanding that the bait will last at least 45 days in the closed bag. I did find these very effective. Just remember, other moles, voles, etc. will move into your area when a void is created (current occupants are dead) so you might find you will use more than one or two baits.

Ok! Let me get good measurements on all of that tomorrow. We did the same thing, and just kept the plastic disc underneath. That is a smaller hole, and I am not sure you really need it. I good hemp rope would probably be best, we used a climbing rope, and tied a thicker knot. I will measure it all out for you in the light outside tomorrow!
