Humane and Effective: 3 Simple Ways to Get Rid of Moles on Your Yard
Moles can become a real scourge, which summer residents try to get rid of by any means necessary.
However, if you are a supporter of humane treatment of any animals, the advice to flood mole holes with water will clearly not be to your taste.
Let's figure out how to get rid of the pest without harming the animals.
Three Easy Ways to Get Rid of Moles
One of the simplest ways to scare a mole away from your property is to use a simple pinwheel that you stick into the ground.
When the wind blows, it will spin, thus transmitting vibrations that are transmitted through the shaft into the soil. And since moles hate vibrations, they will have to leave the hole.
The second method is to plant plants that the animals cannot stand.
Such landings include:
- daffodils, the roots of which are also toxic to moles;
- marigolds, which repel insects, and therefore the mole has no food left;
- imperial hazel grouse, which has an unpleasant smell for the rodent.
The third method is also based on the use of unpleasant odors for the mole. The animal does not like the smell of garlic, gasoline, coffee, castor oil, gasoline, hot pepper and rotten eggs.
It is enough to bury fragrant surprises in the ground where you noticed mole holes, and the animal will quickly retreat from the area.
