Thanks, All! I found this product called Vole Scram from SiteOne (formerly Lesco) that I’m going to try.  It’s granular and non-toxic and can be applied with a lawn spreader. Fingers crossed!

I have a few years of FWW magazines. I’ll see if I have the one you want and would consider selling the whole lot of them if you’re interested. I’ll take a look this evening.
