Threats
Where they occur in close proximity to roads, bank voles may be at risk from lead exposure. In agricultural areas, pesticide drift, and exposure to molluscicides and rodenticides may all pose threats. The fragmentation of woodlands, removal of hedgerows and overgrazing of herbaceous ground cover by deer reduce the chances of bank voles persisting in an area (4).
