Folk remedies for moles in the country

To choose the best and most suitable way, how to get rid of moles in the country in a simple way (video), you need to understand that these are smart and inventive animals. If you remove them for a long time and without success, then they can even begin to take revenge on the gardener.

Sound exposure options:

  • Turntables that you can do yourself. A metal pipe about two meters long is taken. It will be necessary to dig it into the ground by 50 centimeters. Put a tin can on top and make cuts in it. I.e. The blades should come out. Moving along the pipe, the bank will create noise and vibrations that will scare away the mole. It’s great if you can make such turntables around the perimeter of the entire summer cottage.
  • You can make wooden bayonets at a distance of two meters from each other around the perimeter of the site. They should be dug into the ground and fastened with a rope, connecting all the bayonets. Hang on each segment 2-3 cans (of course, empty).
  • If you can figure out where the animals have your main passages, then you can dig in empty bottles (at an angle of 45 degrees). Let the bottle necks look in different directions to catch the wind any day. As a result, the tunnel will have a constant noise of the wind, which will scare away the moles.

Impact on the sense of smell:

  • Plant any bean plants around the perimeter of the garden. It can be peas, lupins. The fact is that scientists have found that moles, for unknown reasons, do not tolerate this smell.
  • You can put a fish head in front of each entrance to the tunnel. Moles from this "aroma" go crazy. But, remember that the head will also smell unpleasant to you, and also collect flies around you.
  • Ammonia, as well as kerosene also show good qualities in the fight against moles on the site. Soak the cloth in a liquid and put it on the entrance to the mole tunnel.

What else to do

It happens that none of the methods described helps or does not suit the owner of the site. In this situation, there is nothing left but to get rid of moles with the help of the most stringent measures. It can be special traps and self-arrows. You can lure moles with minced meat, in which to add poison.

Fight against moles

Important! Many just try to flood the mole’s tunnel thinking that this method will work.This option of getting rid of moles on the site will not bring anything good: only the appearance of dampness and new tunnels. Moles can bypass flooded areas quickly and easily, so this is definitely not an option.

Even if you found an optionhow to get rid of moles in the country in a simple way, and it worked, you should not celebrate the victory. Moles, sometimes, disappear during the war with them, and then tend to return, moreover, as a whole large family.

As soon as the moles stopped appearing on the site, you need to enclose this place with a fine mesh: worms will pass through it, but the moles will not break through it.

    Yes, moles can be difficult to get rid of. But there are ways in which they will never return. Still, the 21st century. :) We now have a device, called an eco-sniper. Small, inexpensive and efficient. Taiwanese made. It acts through sound and vibration. You can not be afraid that someone will suffer - these are not poisons, not chemistry and not other harmfulness. For people, beneficial insects and pets, it is completely safe. But the trick is that the moles leave and do not return, because this sound is very disgusting to them. Of course, the device should constantly work, but this is not a problem.

    I use the sititek led ultrasonic mole repeller myself. It’s good that they came up with such devices, because in the country there isn’t much time for traps or turntables from moles. The device is already designed for a certain range, does not require maintenance and is no less effective than home-made devices.

    Yes, we also have a repeller installed. Here is EcoSniper, and he is also almost inaudible, but he drove away the moles quickly enough, two or three weeks, probably.
