We all know that moles can be such pests with those enormous mole hills they leave behind and the flowers they kill by eating their roots. Even one mole is enough to seriously devastate a garden but we have to remember that they are only acting as nature intended by finding themselves food and building a home.
Various anti mole home remedies have been suggested including: buying a cat, shoving garlic cloves down the mole tunnels, stamping down the mole hills to try to suffocate the mole as well as many often laughable ways to try to kill the mole. If you go down the route of buying a cat to take care of your mole problem you will end up with a nice pet but I have yet to come across a cat owner who has successfully had their cat eradicate their mole. Garlic cloves down mole tunnels will only encourage your moles by providing them with a tasty snack and methods to kill the mole usually end in the hunter hurting themselves instead of the mole.
The problem with these methods is that they do not work. The only methods that do work are poison, traps or solar mole repellers. The problem is the first two methods kill the mole and certainly not in a humane way. The only remaining method that works is to buy a mole repeller.
Solar Mole Repellers work by sending sound and vibrations through the ground which to the mole both sound annoying and sound like an intruder has entered their territory. The moles natural instinct is to run away from an intruder thereby vacating their tunnels. As long as the repeller keeps working the mole will not return from their fear of this intruder and instead will create a new home elsewhere. The repeller which looks like a stake with a flat top where a solar panel sits is driven into the ground of your lawn and draws all the power it needs from the sun. There is no maintenance needed so you simply can turn it on and forget about it while the repell
Most repellers are designed to only chase away moles and similar dwelling rodents so it will not negatively affect pets or humans. Additional rodents that can be chased away with such a repeller include: gophers, rats, mice, voles and shrews.
