Last year, moles attacked my garden. It was some kind of horror! Every day, new dug holes. A work colleague suggested how to get rid of a mole forever. He recommended Alfos insecticidal tablets. Then I bought them and laid them out in the same excavated mounds. A week later, not a single new pile of land appeared. The tool really works.

5. Close the open entrance to the hole with cardboard and sprinkle lightly with earth, leaving little access for air.
6. Repeat the procedure in all holes.

Feedback

After digging pests started at the summer cottage, I took up my head. I did not want to use chemistry on the beds, and setting traps all over the garden was too expensive and time-consuming. I decided to get the mole out of gas. I bought a smoke bomb Antikrot for a nominal price. There are 5 smoke devices in the package. Placed them in holes and set fire to them. After that I did not see a single new molehill. So I managed to get rid of the mole in the garden forever. I recommend this method to everyone.
