How to get rid of moles on the site: 2 effective and proven ways

Moles create three problems: they eat worms that produce valuable humus; damage the root system of plants; spoil the lawns. If moles are bred in the garden, nothing good can be expected. How to get rid of these malicious diggers guaranteed - read on.

Method one - humane

Humane methods include various kinds of rattles and scarecrows sold in stores. Unfortunately, they don't work. When using these devices, moles may not appear for a maximum of a week. Then they realize that this noisy contraption does not pose a threat to them and calmly continue to go about their business.

Vibration will help to humanely get rid of moles. But not the same as from store-bought devices powered by batteries, but powerful. For example, from a deep vibrator for concrete. From such a vibration, moles simply jump out of their holes and forget the way to your site for a long time.

How to apply a vibrator against moles

One deep vibrator is not enough, you also need a container with water. It is necessary to bury the canister or twenty liter plastic bottle, fill it with water, place the working part of the vibrator in the container and turn it on. One hour of powerful vibration is enough to make the moles feel uncomfortable. And this is also, to put it mildly!

There is another way with the use of a vibrator, but not a deep one, but a conventional vibration motor. It needs to be fixed on a piece of a wide metal profile; dig the profile into the ground so that the motor remains outside, and start the electric motor. The principle is simple - the more powerful the vibrator, the faster the moles will leave.

But they may come back in a month or two. Therefore, the device must be kept ready and in case of new holes, the prevention should be repeated.

Method two - inhuman

If there is no desire to spend money on the purchase of a vibrator, and the moles got it, as they say, to the liver, use an inhumane method. It is maddeningly simple, and using it, you will not see disgusting scenes with bloody moles trapped in traps. It's about carbon monoxide.

To use this method, any gasoline tool, moped or motorcycle, or, in extreme cases, a car is suitable. The point of this method is that you need to direct the hose with the exhaust gases into the wormhole and hold it there for 20-30 minutes. The guarantee of such processing is 3 years without annoying diggers.

Moles react to carbon monoxide instantly. If they do not have time to escape, then such is their fate. New individuals will not appear, as they are guided by smells. Each mole leaves marks on its territory. If there is a mark, the territory is occupied. If there is no mark, then the tunnels will be explored by other individuals. In the case of gas treatment, the tunnels will be toxic for three years and not a single sane mole will enter there.

On the Internet, you can find information about another humane way to deal with moles. It lies in the fact that moles do not tolerate the smell of rotten herring. That is, a herring head is put into the hole and the mole does not come there anymore within one season. What do you think about this?
