Will this product deter Voles in and around the landscaping outside my home? Wood chip mulch is the surface of the beds.

It does leave an incredibly bitter taste behind that works better and lasts longer than deer-off, but you should be aware it's the taste that will stop animals like beaver or deer after the first couple of bites and not the odor, although it probably does have some odor to an animal.

I have used the deer repellent in the past in PA and it worked like a charm on bunnies too. I have no bunnies here in NH, but this is doing a good job keeping deer away too. It is not working on voles. I don't know if the ingredients are different, but it smells about the same.

It works very well for meadow voles, I usually place a bit of peanut buttering the small compartment opposite the holding compartment. (Remove top panel and determine which end of trap holds trapped animals, on opposite side of mechanism, smear a spoonful of peanut butter on a wall or floor of trap away from moving parts).Most small mammals will enter trap without bait as they explore entrance but many more are attracted by aroma of bait (and also by other voles once trapped).

My backyard and garden is a 50X75 ft. area and seems to cover this. Have had no mole/vole problems since I installed. I life at the beach, so I'm in a sandy soil area. Drove the critters into my neighbors yard though.

I would not recommend this product as a deterrent of squirrels on any surface. I used it on wood with very liberal applications and it didn't phase the squirrels in the least.

As far as I can tell it works against rabbits. Not sure about moles and voles though.

I stuck one in my front yard and it appears to be keeping them all away (from the front) and we've got both moles and gophers. However, it says that it can do up to 7500 sq. feet but I'd recommend getting a few and making them overlap. The one that I've got in my front yard doesn't do anything for the back yard and it's not a large yard by any means.

It killed the weeds around my deck nicely. I sprayed it straight, not mixing it with anything. Make sure you were gloves and long pants. You don't want it getting on your skin. Spray it on when it is hot and sunny. It did not discolor my deck, but I don't know about wood chips.

Hi Vickie, I used this to keep squirrels away from my car engine and it worked. I also sprayed it around my tree and for quite awhile the yard was void of birds and critters. we had fox living in the area and even they stayed away thinking another fox had marked its territory so I would think coyote's would also stay away thinking a territory was marked by a fox unless coyote's hunt fox which I have Know knowledge of here in my part of New Jersey. Not sure I have helped but maybe I gave some information of value.

Yes. That is the only place I have used it. It has been successful for me in keeping away voles and rabbits. It also lasts after a rainfall.

Yes, I believe it would. The deer don't eat our trees anymore since we started spraying them three years ago. I also sprayed it in my care wheel wells and on the engine so the chipmunks don't make nests in our engines and eat wires. It works great!!!

I don't know but how large an area are you talking about? I use these on my lawn and beds. If a few get harmed by Msrgolds, so what?

Sorry, I have no idea if mine were voles or moles. Either way, I did not have have any luck with these traps. I really had great success with: 6 Pack Revenge Mole Traps Package of 6 TrapsSold by PCSOUTDOORSJust my experience.

Voles as I understand them are basically the size of a mouse. They are t0o small to trigger the trap. More importantly, they do not tunnel along the surface so this trap would not work for that reaon as well.

Keep the spray away from any type of ornamental flowers or Shrubs. It is made for lawn weed control only, not flower beds. You may try using preen granules around your flower beds. If you use colored mulch around those flowers and shrubs you will help control the weed population and enhance the beauty of the shrubs and flowers. Hope this helps. Steve

I should think so. I have mine under wood chips with a pair of active dogs constantly running all over it. Their activity displaces a lot of the mulch but the weed barrier remains effective and intact.

I really doubt it. I have seen products that claim to repel skunks on the market
