Abstract/Contents:Profiles voles and presents research on controlling voles and vole infestations on turf. Discusses the biology, habitat, and potentially harmful activity of voles, explaining that "in just six months, a female vole has the biological potential to have more than 40,000 grandchildren." Indicates that the appearance of large runways and tunnel systems may be the best visual key of vole activity in golf courses. Highlights exclusion, cultural methods, frightening devices, repellents, baits, fumigants, and trapping as primary control strategies. Suggests that vole control is a continuous effort, and states that "planning is very important for vole control because much of the work to control populations and winter damage must be put in place in the fall."
