MOLEMAX Mole & Vole Repellent Granules, 10 lbs. Ready-to-Use, Outdoor Lawn & Garden Mole Control, People & Pet Safe

This is by far the best product I purchased to get rid of moles from digging in the yard. It does help with squirrels but that's not necessarily what I get it for. I love that it's a simple product being only castor oil and binding products, so there's not a lot of heavy chemicals. I have chickens in my yard and they free range. I'm not worried about them when I put this product down. It works really well if you use it as directed. That means you can't do your whole yard all at once because you'll just drive them crazy and they're going to run around nuts ripping up the whole place. Instead, you're supposed to start on one side. I generally recommend starting near concrete or pavement and pushing them back away from that area. You need to water it down into the lawn surface. Applications do not work. It has to seep down. Once you 've done 20-ft sections at a time and push them all the way back, you can just do a perimeter line a few feet wide to keep them from returning. I do this in the spring and fall works great

I am using this to try to protect the tulips I planted in October. I hope it works. It seems to work around the roses.

it’s been 4 months since i’ve used this on my lawn to get rid of those pesky moles that’s been digging up my lawn. i have not seen any new holes on my lawn. i will buy again for sure. when it rains, the granules dissolve and seeps into the ground to target the problem. its safe for pets, humans and the lawn. Don’t worry, it doesn’t kill the moles but only drives them away. continued use keeps them from coming back.

Well, maybe I have super gophers/voles. One bag is supposed to cover 5000sq feet. Well, I followed instructions exactly, and have now used 2 bags 2 weeks or so apart in an area approximately 450 sq feet. Used in conjunction with those vibrating spikes. End result: NADA. No impact. Zero Effect. Gophers continue to make huge holes and mounds in my yard. Guess I am going back to the tried and true approach of patience and a pellet gun.

I have tried all kinds of traps and poisons for gophers. I decided to try this despite little available research-based evidence that it works. It definitely does not work well in a localized application to protect a tree/plants, but it might work a little to deter from a bigger area. Evidence: I wanted to protect the roots of a young citrus tree that a gopher was interested in. I spread this heavier than recommended in a 6 ft radius around the tree. Watered it in as instructed. The gopher was back with new tunnels and mounds right where this stuff was the very next night! I then put this stuff directly in soil that I used to plug the main tunnel about 2 ft long, also as directed. The next morning the gopher had re-excavated directly through the heavily laced main tunnel! I then spread the rest of the bag using a spreader across a larger area of adjacent grass that also had gopher activity. This area measured about 20' X 60'. I laid it down heavier than recommended. to give it the best chance of working. We could smell it during the evening in the yard. With this bigger application the gophers seemed to have been annoyed and moved away from that area to an adjacent untreated area as intended. Hard to know if that was coincidence or the product worked better when used across a bigger area. It seems a determined gopher will just ignore this in a local space that they like, but they might be annoyed enough by it in a bigger space to move to another space.

Keeps moles away

I spent around $100 on 4 bags. It did not work in spite of watching videos and reading about the best way and time to apply. To be fair, we have an alarming vole infestation. We had seen one and caught it in a trap. We were about to move out of our home at the time and make the property a rental. While moving, it went from 1 seen and caught with NO burrow holes/mounds... to HUNDREDS of voles with countless mounds and tunnels all over our property within a 4 week period. We had moved everything and had not been there for a few weeks. I went back to meet with the tenant 4 weeks after we caught the single vole. We have sandy soil in the mountains with a lot of wild grasses and wildflowers. We have gravel around the house/patio areas and even those areas were devastated in spite of the lack of plants growing there. After 2 applications of 2 bags, 1 week apart (on damp soil w some light rain between and after treatments we saw no improvement. We had used 20+ smoke bombs manufactured just for that purpose. He had also sprayed a liquid version of vole repellent last fall. My husband also attached a hose to the exhaust of his old plow truck and ran that into the tunnels to drive them away (a video he saw online gave him that idea). None of the efforts worked. Due to the devastation of our yard from the voles and danger of stepping in a hole and twisting an ankle or worse...we hired someone to regrade the sections of our yard that could be reached with a small grader and flatten it out. Away from the house, in a rocky area that cannot be graded due to enormous stones/pitch, etc. (mountains) countless voles were seen running out of the tunnels while the ground was being graded. Unfortunately, the only thing that is working for us is regrading and compacting the ground in any areas we can reach with heavy equipment on the property. We cannot reach all areas, so I'm certain this will be a continual, and costly process. We are not using poison since the wild animals such as fox, etc. eat voles and we don't want to poison wildlife or pets. If anyone has a good solution not listed above, please let me know! I am assuming that if you are reading this, you have voles. Good luck and try to catch them as early as possible because they reproduce quickly and in large numbers.

This stuff works! After applying granules to the area in our yard with mole activity, they were gone in a day or two.

Creemos que si funcionó, y eran tejones que son tremendamente fuertes y aferrados.
