In our community garden we lost a couple azaleas and a 4- 5 foot tall rhododendron. <BR/>Thanks for the comment about the camera, I was pleasantly surprised the first time I downloaded pictures to view on the computer.<BR/>JanetJanet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-69885497629180143142009-01-14T19:11:00.000-05:002009-01-14T19:11:00.000-05:00God, I don't ever want to have the "joys" of exper...God, I don't ever want to have the "joys" of experiencing voles! I hear they are awe full creature. I didn't know they could take out a lilac bush. But on the bright side...Your phone has a pretty nice camera!Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667303323277851230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-54683761792383685072009-01-13T15:58:00.000-05:002009-01-13T15:58:00.000-05:00Les,Very true... three dogs is enough for me right...Les,<BR/>Very true... three dogs is enough for me right now though......was hoping the snakes had taken care of the moles.

I have used some caster oil products before, it just depends on how well I keep up with it. Extension recommendations are to use the peanut butter and traps for effective control.<BR/>JanetJanet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-6788747636570604982009-01-13T14:57:00.000-05:002009-01-13T14:57:00.000-05:00I SO TOTALLY sympathize.

I have resorted to just stamping the ground periodically to firm up the dirt around plants. Some of course are losses. I tried this AWESOME product two years ago when the voles ate nearly all the roots off from nandinas in a foundation garden and it worked! It is a Mole/Vole repellent I think. In a yellow bottle. You sprinkle it on the soil prior to a good rain, then follow up in a week or two. Haven't had an issue in that spot since. Try it out, well worth the expense to save aggravation. Urrrr!
