Good Morning Rick,
Thank you for contacting the U of M Extension Service.
Here is a link from the U of M Extension Yard and Garden website about winter animal damage to the landscape: https://extension.umn.edu/yard-and-garden-news/winterizing-plants-animal-damage
This information discusses repellants to apply to trees and shrubs.
Here is another link about managing voles and damage: https://extension.umn.edu/planting-and-growing-guides/vole-damage
If you scroll down, there is information about using traps or pesticides to control them.
Good Luck!
