1 gallon Vole Basket (pack of 4 baskets)

• Includes one 1 gallon (XX in. x XX in.) Vole King gopher basket.

• Protects plants from gophers and other burrowing rodents, including voles.

• Long-lasting, one-and-done solution saves time and money.

Be proactive, not reactive: protect your plants with non-toxic stainless steel Vole King vole baskets.

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3: Take your plant out of its pot or the ground, put your plant in a Vole King basket, and plant your plant in your garden or landscape. 

Unlike burrowing rodent repellents, our baskets won’t wash away in the rain or blow away in the wind, making them a true one-and-done solution.

A vole kills a plant by eating its root ball to get to its crown, the vital area where its underground roots meet its aboveground shoots. Vole King baskets protect this vital area. Your plant’s feeder roots can grow through the basket, but burrowing rodents can’t chew through it. While voles may nibble on your plant's feeder roots, they won’t be able to survive off them, so they’ll move on in search of sustenance elsewhere.

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at North Carolina State University found tomato plants protected by Vole King baskets grow 38% more roots and 18% more fruit than plants not protected by our baskets.

Our vole baskets easily conform to new plants and old transplants, so it’s never too lateto protect your plants with Vole King!

What size basket should I buy?

Size up, not down. Choose the basket that matches your plant’s pot size — and if we don’t offer an exact match, go with the next size up. For example, if you have a four-gallon plant, choose a five-gallon basket (since we don’t sell a four-gallon basket). You can fill any extra space in the basket with native soil, which helps your plant adapt to its new home. Not sure which size basket to buy? Click here to contact us — we’re happy to help!

What’s the difference between vole baskets and gopher baskets?

We launched our vole baskets in 2017, and many customers have used them to protect their plants from gophers. But, some customers have asked for thicker baskets to guard against gophers. So, in 2025, we launched our gopher baskets, which are made of significantly thicker stainless steel than our vole baskets. In short, our vole baskets are proven to protect our customers’ plants from gophers — but, if you live out West and want extra peace of mind, our gopher baskets are here for you.
