I woke up to a vole in my tub this morning, you know those little brown animals like moles. He was alive but very wet and obviously very very tired. Can you tell me how he got in my plumbing?

Check your yard and the surrounding property for wet spots. Any break in the plumbing large enough for even a small vole to enter will leave a large swampy "footprint." If you do not find any such evidence, look under the bathroom for ways it could enter along the outside of the pipes.

Your critter most likely got in tour home the same way a snake made its way into mine. Through the tub access dapout(see image) which is open to the ground. Open the tub access panel located in the wall behind the front of the tub and pack the hole with old rags. Good luck, Tom
