I knew I would get your attention with that title. Well it's true, the voles attacked again underneath the snow this winter. This family resides next to the second green in and around the bunker. You can see their tunnels of soil, sand and decaying organic matter.
Their activity not only disrupts the surface, but the most damage is one underneath the turf. You may notice in this picture how there is a slight depression in the turf between the trap and the green. The voles moved most of the soil to build their home and have created a sink hole.
To correct this problem, the turf must be removed, new soil placed in the depression and then the turf set back into place.
