Voles
What are voles?
Voles are small rodents related to gophers and rats. Voles are commonly called field mice or meadow mice. Voles are larger and fluffier than the average house mouse and grow to a length of four to eight inches. Their body shape is rather short and stocky for their size. Voles in the Aspen, CO area are usually gray to light brown in color with long, hairless tails. As a recap, that makes them about half again bigger than a mouse, but half the size of a wood rat. Voles also have faces that are not as narrow as a mouse or rat with small protruding eyes.
Are voles dangerous?
While not a direct threat to humans, voles are some of the most destructive lawn pests that crop up every year in the United States, presenting a major threat to lawns, fruit trees, landscaping, and grain crops. In addition, these pests can introduce parasites onto properties when they invade and spread disease through their excrement.
