I found good enemy of voles. Each year in the pine and spruce wood the
owl or screech-owl breed juniors. I am hearing their voices. Some
times I found them sitting on the branches of spruce outside fence of
garden. Most in the nest are 5-6-7 juniors. To grow them, parents catch
all voles from my and neibhour gardens. For cats which are moving all
around, I think there is not what to catch or only little. There is
receipt for gardeners whewe landscape is woody, and owls are common
for your area, to equip nesting-boxses of proper size to pull them for
nesting. Than you will have no troubles with voles and partialy moles
too. I have no observed any demage in my garden on iris or hosta which
could be done by voles.
