Be thankful for your lack of Vole evidence.  

Last year was my worst year for vole damage, even at home in the middle of a 
residential neighborhood they got me good.  Consumed about 100 lily bulbs in 
the ground in the middle of the winter.  Took out by dogwood by girdling the 
stems and roots.
Got 70 percent of my large clump of Coreopsis (was three feet by seven feet).

Took out completely two large stands of Northern Sea oats grass too.

Won't even speak about the hideous things they did to my Astilbe.  I fixed 
them, I hope this year, they have consumed over $100 worth of "The special green 
pelleted food" I have provided over the summer and fall. So I have not seen 
to many around this year.
