They fought folk remedies with moles for a long time. From my own experience - mint, calendula, narcissus do not help much. On the beds with onions, garlic, the animals of the moves do not dig, but if you put the garlic arrows in the area - it does not help. It repels tobacco and cigarettes, but it is better to use rags with gasoline, kerosene, and herring heads. Efficiency increases if rags are pushed into a hole. I noticed the effect in a week.

• The reeds. Dry reeds in the wind rustle very much, which creates discomfort for animals. In each molehill reeds are inserted, they forget about the existence of pests.
• Cans. In most cases, beer cans are used. Cut out the upper part, squeeze in the form of a bell, put on metal stakes. Pegs are dug into the ground throughout the garden, especially near the molehill. At the slightest breath of wind, banks ring like bells, create an unbearable ringing. The tool acts not only on moles, but also mice, rats, a bear, many other pests.

The bottom is cut out in a bottle, the petals are cut out, twisted to the top with scissors, put on pegs. To achieve maximum effect, there should be a lot of such structures in the garden. Be sure to put near the molehill.

Moles are frightened off by designs with cans or plastic bottles. Only put in the garden they need a lot. The crash is incredible at the slightest blow of the wind. Run away not only moles, but also neighboring cats, dogs, rodents. The most interesting thing is that these same tools help prevent the re-emergence of pests.

Agrotechnical methods

Often there is a situation when after the winter molehills appear in the garden. The question arises, how to protect the site, get rid of animals. In most cases, nothing special needs to be done. They simply plow the earth with the help of technology. In the process, the passages built by the mole during the winter are destroyed, which is not to the liking of the animal. Additionally, the animals scare away a strong sound, vibration from the operation of the equipment.

How to scare away more animals - drought. Moles love moderately moist soil, with daily watering, animals dig tunnels at a depth of 5-20 cm from the surface.Earthworms, which are the main food for moles, also live in moist soil. If the earth is dry, the worms go deep, which creates certain inconvenience for moles. By reducing the amount of watering the garden, you can achieve the expulsion of animals.

In our garden, very often molehills appear after the winter, but we don’t worry about this very much. After plowing the soil, planting potatoes, the animals no longer see the site. And that the soil is loosened in winter, I would like to thank them for this. In the fall we again plow the ground. Additionally, we are not doing anything else. The garden is located near the river, near the field. Our animals go there and run away after plowing.

To scare away moles from the garden before the animals appear on the site, you should shed the foundation around the perimeter, put up a fence or dig a slate to a depth of 80 cm. On sale there is a special net from moles, which can be installed instead of a fence. Special tablets are also in great demand, which, after getting into the soil, emit special gas. The substance does not lead to the death of the animals, but makes them leave their former possessions. Dig a hole in the location of the molehill, throw a pill, sprinkle with earth.

Frightening off is one of the most humane and effective methods of struggle. Moles are not those pests that need to be mercilessly destroyed. In nature, they do much more good than harm.
