Use plants against voles

Odors against voles
If you want to save yourself the hassle of planting anti-vole plants in several places on your lawn, you can also work directly with "scent bombs". To do this, you can either make a brew from some of the above-mentioned plants and pour it into the aisles, or you can use these ingredients to make a liquid manure. Manure smells particularly strong and drive away even the most stubborn vole. However, the brew has to brew for two weeks to ferment.
Spread your brew or liquid manure every morning and evening for at least a week.
Tips
The smell of human and animal hair is also repulsive to voles. Put some tufts of hair in the aisles.
