I wake up probably twice a month to a dead vole on my floor thanks to my cat

Geez. Your cat could upset the environmental balance!

Well, I have a good mouser cat so I don’t get voles anymore, but before I had good luck with vole traps that I bought on

So they burrow under the bucket to get to the trap?

I think you put the bucket and trap over the hole.

Find the holes. Put the trap at the entrance and cover with a bucket.

If you want to have lots of fun, stick a hose down one of the holes and grab a shotgun

We had success with these by placing them in their tracks.

No kill? I'd want those sucker dead. D-E-A-D.

Oh, they ended up dead. Just the trap didn’t kill them.

Honestly? Cats. Everything else is temporary. Those cats clear them out really quick.

We had good luck with the Bait Block peanut butter stuff.

I stuck the garden hose way down about 6’ down and drowned the little varmints

That's what I did. Stuck a hose down the hole and pumped a couple hundred gallons of water down there.
