Vole excrement, often called vole droppings or scat, is small and pellet-shaped, similar in appearance to mouse droppings. These droppings are typically dark brown or black and have a length of about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. They can be found along vole runways, near their burrow entrances, or in areas where voles are actively foraging for food.
Vole excrement is an indicator of their presence and activity, and it can be helpful in identifying areas where voles are active. However, it’s essential to exercise caution when handling vole droppings, as they may carry diseases or parasites. If you encounter vole excrement, it’s advisable to wear gloves and take appropriate precautions when cleaning and disposing of it.
