Last year, moles appeared in the garden. There was no time to tinker with folk remedies, we decided to buy a repeller Ecosniper. Priborchik is not cheap, inspired hope. Set in the middle of the garden.We have a small plot, only 5 acres. Manufacturers promise an action of 15 square meters. After a week, they noticed that the new miners did not appear, which indicated the effectiveness of the device. Our animals went to the neighbors, which also became noticeable along the mounds on their land plot.

Fighting folk remedies with moles for a long time. From my own experience - mint, calendula, narcissus do not help much. On the beds with onions and garlic, the animals do not dig moves, but if you lay out the garlic arrows on the plot, it does not help. It scares off tobacco and cigarettes, but it is better to use rags with gasoline, kerosene, herring heads.Efficiency increases if you stuff rags into a hole. Effect noticed after a week.

Stakes or a plastic pipe are driven into the ground.The bottom of the bottle is cut out, the petals are cut out, twisted to the top with scissors, put on pegs. To achieve the maximum effect, such structures in the garden should be a lot. Be sure to put near the molehill.

Agrotechnical methods
Often there is a situation when after winter men appear in the garden. The question is how to protect the site, get rid of the animals. In most cases, nothing much to do. Just plow the land with the help of technology. In the process, the moles lined up during the winter are destroyed, which is not to the liking of the animal. Additionally, the animals are scared away by strong sound, vibration from the operation of the equipment.
Than to scare away even the animals - drought. Moles love moderately moist soil; with daily watering, animals dig a course at a depth of 5-20 cm from the surface. In wet soil live and earthworms, which are the main food for moles. If the earth is dry, the worms go deep, which creates certain inconveniences for moles. By reducing the number of watering the garden, you can achieve the expulsion of animals.

We often have mole animals in the garden after the winter, but we don’t worry too much about it. After plowing the soil, planting potatoes, the animals do not see anymore at the site. And that in the winter they loosen the soil, for which they thank them separately. In the fall we plow the land again.In addition, we do nothing more. The garden is located near the river, near the field. There our little animals and run away after plowing.

To scare away moles from the vegetable garden before the animals appear on the plot, you should shed the foundation around the perimeter, put a fence or dig a slate to a depth of 80 cm. There is a special mole grid for sale that can be installed instead of a fence. Also, special pills are in special demand, which, after entering the soil, emit a special gas. The substance does not lead to the death of animals, but causes them to leave their former possessions. Dig a hole in the location of the molehill, throw a pill, sprinkled with earth.
Scaring is one of the most humane and effective methods of struggle. Moles are not those pests that need to be ruthlessly destroyed. In nature, they do much more good than harm.
