Eastern meadow voles are active year-round [8] [9] and day or night, with no clear 24-hour rhythm in many areas. [10] Most changes in activity are imposed by season, habitat, cover, temperature, and other factors. Eastern meadow voles have to eat frequently, and their active periods (every two to three hours) are associated with food digestion.
Citronella grass: repels insects, may deter cats [5] Citrosa: proven not to repel mosquitoes [6] Clovers: repel aphids and wireworms [3] Common lantana: repels mosquitoes [1] Coriander: repels aphids, Colorado potato beetle, and spider mites [3] Cosmos: repel the corn earworm: Crown imperial: repel rabbits, mice, moles, voles and ground ...
Meadow voles appeared to be randomly distributed within a grassland habitat in southern Quebec. [14] Grant and Morris [14] were not able to establish any association of meadow vole abundance with particular plant species. They were also unable to distinguish between food and cover as the determining factor in meadow vole association with dense ...

Alfisol and Ultisol soil types are particularly favored due to being favorable to the vole's burrowing system. [2] Voles feed on both the roots and stem system and the vegetation of plants, as well as fruits, seeds, bark, subterranean fungus and insects. [4] Because they feed on roots and tubers, voles do not need to drink water much. [3]
Voles thrive on small plants yet, like shrews, they will eat dead animals and, like mice and rats, they can live on almost any nut or fruit. In addition, voles target plants more than most other small animals, making their presence evident. Voles readily girdle small trees and ground cover much like a porcupine. This girdling can easily kill ...
Townsend's vole lives in a burrow system and creates runways among the vegetation in its habitat. The runways are used all year round by successive generations of voles and may be 2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2 in) deep. [5] In the summer the voles may take advantage of the denser cover available and also move about elsewhere.
