Mice/Voles

Right by our front steps we noticed a hole in the ground, and some trails that looked like snake trails through the grass. I 'googled' lawn pests with round holes and 'snake' trails, and came up with a video on how to catch what are commonly called voles, but are really just field mice. Dad watched the video, went out and set the traps, and there he was this morning, just like in the video, caught in the mouse trap half in and half out of the hole. We aren't sure how many there are, so we still have the traps set up. Amazing what you can Google!
