If flowers and plants start falling over in the back yard, it may not be because of bad gardening habits. A vole could be on the loose.
Voles are a major threat to vegetable and ornamental gardens, says Adria Bordas, horticulture extension agent in Fairfax County.
"They feed at the roots and the material at the soil line," Ms. Bordas says. "They will basically eat all the roots, and you will have your plants fall over one day in your yard."
