Vole control in Edmonton
Lawn and yard damage identified correctly first, because the three leave very different evidence and need different work.
From $350 after inspection, priced before we start
Identification
Which one you have
Surface runways
Voles leave narrow tracks through the grass, most visible right after the snow goes.
Raised tunnels
Moles push soil up as they travel, which is a different animal and a different treatment.
Open burrows and mounds
Gophers leave a visible entrance and a fan of soil. Easy to confirm once you know what you are looking at.
The yard itself
Long grass at the edges, wood piles and dense cover are what makes a yard worth living in.
On the job
What it looks like on site
The day starts at the truck, with the route on the tablet.
The report starts on the tailgate before anyone drives away.In their words
The owner was very quick to come deal with my ground gopher situation and very knowledgeable. Within a couple of days, he had caught my pest, and made recommendations of how I could prevent other pest issues. I had contacted other companies, but YEG was priced lower.

Questions we get
About voles, moles and gophers specifically.
The damage tells us. Voles leave surface runways in the grass, moles leave raised tunnels and mounds of fine soil, and gophers leave open holes with a fan of earth beside them. The three need different work, so we confirm which one it is before treating rather than after, and that is the first thing the visit is for.
Usually, once the activity stops. Surface runways fill in on their own over a growing season and overseeding in spring closes them faster, while raised tunnels need rolling flat first. What does not recover on its own is a lawn still being worked underneath, which is why the activity is dealt with before the repair.
Damage shows most in spring, which is when people call, but the activity that caused it happened all winter under the snow. Voles work the space between the snow and the grass where nothing can see them. That is why a lawn can look fine in November and come out of the melt in March covered in trails.
Anything not here, call 825-522-1997 and describe it. Most of the time we can tell you what it is on the phone.
