Checked the plants and trap this morning. No vole, and the adjacent pepper plant was gone. An official declaration of war was declared, and I decided to wait for the rodent with brick in hand.
After 5 minutes, I noticed some of the landscape fabric rustling, so I pounced and hurled the brick. The vole scurried our from under the fabric and evacuated the garden under the fence to a nearby dying hydrangea bush. I gave chase with a shovel and digging fork.
The hydrangea has been removed, and the vole is no longer with us.
Our thermometer read 38F this morning, and it certainly didn't feel like it was anywhere near freezing. There was a patch of frost out back. The tomatos seem fine.
