Who among us in my childhood did not like watching a cartoon about a charming mole? But moles settled in the dacha section will not seem nice and kind to anyone, because in the process of laying the way they ruin the roots of plants. We will talk about the basic means of fighting mole in the garden today.
How to escape from moles in the garden?
To notice that an intruder invaded your site, and I must say, quite an unceremonious guest can be the appearance of characteristic ridges and mounds on the beds. The crests appear in those places where moles lay fodder tunnels that go to the surface of the soil, and similar to small crochet volcanoes are nothing else than construction waste. But all this is only a small part of the cottage apartment, and the main multi-level apartments are hidden in the earth's thickness. What to do if a mole was planted in the garden? It all depends on the extent of your humanity. Along with radical methods of struggle (traps, poisons, etc.), there are many more sparing folk remedies that allow simply to expel the mole from the garden.
Method 1 - scare off the sharp smells
It has long been noted that moles do not tolerate the smell of some plants. As a protective fence, garlic, castor oil, spurge, spleen, daffodils or marigolds can be planted along the perimeter of the site. Do not like moles and the smell of cat urine, so in the suburban area without a cat just can not do. But laying in the moles of feces, as some folk craftsmen advise, the idea is not the best, as this can lead to infection of the fruits with helminths.
Method 2 - use sound repellers
Along with the purchased ultrasonic repellers, their homemade analogues give good results. For example, it is possible to dig plastic bottles into the hole holes, orienting their necks at a slight angle relative to the ground. Blowing in them the wind will create an unpleasant mole sound.
Method 3 - flood the moles
This method will require patience and a large amount (not less than 100-150 liters) of water. The most effective will be several hoses, simultaneously installed in different wormholes.
