Common Vole Species and Characteristics in Pennsylvania

Identifying the vole species in your yard is essential for effective pest management. Common vole species in Pennsylvania, such as meadow voles, pine voles, and woodland voles, each have unique habits and habitats. At Keystone Pest Solutions, our team specializes in recognizing these differences to provide targeted vole control and removal. Let us help you protect your yard from vole damage.

Meadow Voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus)

Meadow voles are the most common species in Central PA. These small rodents have a brownish-gray coat, short tails, and small ears. Meadow voles prefer open areas like lawns, gardens, and meadows, where they create extensive surface runways and burrow systems. Their feeding habits can severely damage grass, crops, and ornamental plants, making them a significant pest for homeowners.

Pine Voles (Microtus pinetorum)

Pine voles are smaller than meadow voles and have a reddish-brown coat, short tails, and nearly invisible ears hidden under their fur. These voles may be less common in central PA but are worth mentioning. Unlike meadow voles, pine voles are primarily subterranean, feeding on plant roots and tubers. They are commonly found in orchards, gardens, and wooded areas, where their burrowing can harm trees and shrubs.

Woodland Voles

Woodland voles look like pine voles. They have soft brown fur, small ears and short tails. They are found in dense forests but also in orchards, wooded edges and areas with thick ground cover. They are root feeders and will gnaw on roots and bark of trees which can stunt growth, weaken trees and even kill trees. This is a big problem in orchards and forest landscapes where their presence can cause big economic losses. While they are less likely to get into homes, they can get into residential yards, gardens and landscaping looking for food and shelter. Their burrowing can disrupt soil and plant health and are a nuisance to homeowners and gardeners. If left unchecked their populations can explode and the damage to vegetation and property will get worse.
