Well, you got me as I don't have an answer. hopefully someone else on
this chat and it does. Voles aren't a big problem here so I've not had
to face the problem. I wonder what would happen if you were to take some
mothballs, crushed them and sprinkle them near the base before you put
the mulch around them. I also wonder if woodchips would be a better
mulch than straw as I think woodchips would be less inviting, not as
easy to make a nest in. Just guessing.
