Mole control
The main mole repellants
- Mole control products can basically be grouped as follows :
- Audible
- Ultrasonic (sound that cannot be perceived by the human ear)
- Electronic
- Chemical ones
- Physical
Audible/ultrasonic mole repellers are devices that scare away animals with sound or vibration. For example, sonic mole repellants are placed in the ground and emit a pulsation of sound that creates a vibration that repels moles. Chemicals are usually put into mole holes to kill moles or make their passages uninhabitable.
Why DIY deterrents can be ineffective or even dangerous
There is much debate about the effectiveness of deterrents. While some repellents work for a while, moles can become indifferent or immune to the product. Making it ineffective. Basically, getting rid of moles takes a lot of time and requires a long-term plan. It is necessary to know the habits, behavior norms and locations of pests. Some reasons why deterrents may be ineffective or unsafe to use include:
Sound and Vibration – Sound, ultrasonic and electronic mole repellers can work very well for short periods of time. However, these devices can be expensive to purchase and require constant maintenance, and the mole can also become accustomed to the sound or vibration they produce. These factors can also be a problem with chemical mole control methods. The mole may be repulsed at first, but over time it gets used to the tool and it no longer works.
Chemical repellants usually need to be replaced after a few uses, as rain or environmental influences greatly alter their effectiveness. Most chemical repellents are not “set it and forget it.”
The homeowner does not take enough time to read and follow the repellent manual, uses the repellent on the wrong animal, in the wrong place, on the wrong plants, or does not understand the safety requirements. This makes it very dangerous for pets, children and other living animals. Many mole repellants are also available in stores, so you have to be aware of the situation and be aware of the pest you want to get rid of. Improper use of deterrents can lead to an offence!
The timing of the use of deterrents must be precise. In order to repel moles effectively and without damage, the homeowner must use the repellent before the mole has time to build a nest and feed on worms and other things suitable for it. When the mole has already found a nice feeding table, it is very difficult to get rid of it. If mole colonies have to be dealt with, the better alternative is to quickly and decisively use mole poisons, traps and environmental changes to make it less attractive to moles.
Physical traps are, for example , traps that are slightly different in terms of material or design. All of them catch a mole in their gears. You have to prepare the course, set up the trap and put the bait, and check from time to time.
