Talk:Meadow Vole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I would also like to point out that Meadow Voles can be beneficial. They eat some of the plants we consider to be weeds. This has been evident as one has moved in next to our house. There are some pesky cousins of the dandalion that I just can't seem to get rid of and I refuse to use poisons. This little guy (or gal) moves in and all of a sudden those weeds are dying off. Roots being chewed off. I don't think it's a coincidence. I came online to find out more about our little resident. I'm not finding too many sites that talk about the benefits of these little fuzz balls. I'm glad that I can comment here.
One site that does mention them being beneficial; I also found this one to be the most informative... http://www.fcps.k12.va.us/StratfordLandingES/Ecology/mpages/meadow_vole.htm
