  • Probably I must resign to presence of water voles in my garden. Otherwise I should substitute one risk by other, maybe worse: I used "Norat ATG" offered as "the preparate aganst watter voles" and I find in Internet resources that its active subsance - brodifacoum - is persistent in environment and suluble in fats so it may cumulate in foot web!

  • Its burrows are usually closed. This can be exploited for detection if the burrow is engaged. If you release the entry into engaged burrow, it is very quickly (in some few hours) choked up by clay stopper. Water vole also needs calm, it resent derangement. That are experiences of peaple that have problems with these animals in their gardens.

  • Maybe I shouldn't kill but repel (by noise) the water voles. I pay away too much money for poison baits - granules, liquid gel with anticoagulants - and I see no effect. If it decide some animals in my garden, the population has been very quickly supplied from surroundings. It is not my aim to decide all water voles in sourroundings.

    For preservation of water voles in the areas where it is endangered I can give some experiences:

    Water voles resent draught in their burrows.

  • i didnt realise you were from the republic of czeck

  • Not in Central Europe. Water voles are plentiful pest penetrating from water to gardens. Here it rakes tens meters long burows, which are exposed by unearthed dollops of clay. It eats grass like other voles but also underground parts of plants, mainly in winter. In Spring some fruit-growers may acertain that some young trees haven't buded and when they handle like tree, they pull out only stake - without roots. Roots are completely eaten up by water voles.

  • water voles are endandgered so dont kill them

  • Does anybody know how to annihilate water voles? About twenty dollops daily appear in my gardern and nothing does facilitate. Maybe parafined bait with anticoagulants? How aplicate it? Directly to burrow or to poison stations?

  • Nice to see!
