Abstract

At the present time voles are the single most destructive pest in apple orchards in Pennsylvania. No other pest can inflict the type of damage that can kill apple trees as surely as girdling. Orcharding involves tremendous investments ($2,000 - $3,000 per acre) and these investments are being seriously threatened by localized outbreaks of pine and meadow vole infestations.
