Levels of damage vary, but mostly occur in cyclical years of population abundance driven by plentiful food. They can attack trees at any time but particularly late winter to spring, typically gnawing bark at the base of the stem. Trees may recover from minor damage but will die if ring-barked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/8756\/1209\/files\/AC-badge-5year-guarantee_160x160.png?v=1674724444\" alt=\"5 Year Tree Hugger Guarantee Amenity Choice\" class=\"mobile-fix\" style=\"float: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause these vole guards are made entirely from natural, organic materials they will completely biodegrade at the end of their useful lifespan meaning that the removal of single use plastic shelters is no longer required, saving time and money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe woven material structure provides strong protection against damage from grazing animals, such as voles and mice.
