My experience with a Vole
We had a vole rodent that lived in our front yard. Part of the problem was that passing dogs and cats walk by and smell it and decide to dig their own holes to find the vole. Needless to say, we didn't love our lawn guest.

On July 25, 2015, as I was mowing the lawn, going back and forth, I notice the little vole poking it's head in and out. With each pass of the lawnmower I would eye it as I passed and expected it to hide underground. But it didn't. It just stared at me with its black beady eyes...challenging me...mocking me. Finally I was about two passes of the lawnmower away from going over its home and again, it just stared at me, wiggling its nose. As fast as I could, I took one step and kicked it like I was kicking a penalty kick in soccer (inside top part of the foot). I connected. It flew over the lawn, over 24 feet of driveway, and hit the side of our house about 20 feet in the air with a thud before falling limp to the ground.

The children put together an excellent burial service.
