Mole nets

The grid from moles is a continuous canvas with small cells of different diameters made of metal, polymer. The simple design does not require special styling skills, it is easily installed in a vertical, horizontal position. The barrier method has high efficiency, durability, reliability, safety. The grid against moles does not allow them to conduct normal life activities, which helps bring out moles.

Operating principle

The grid against moles is installed in a horizontal, vertical position. In the first case, it serves as a barrier to moles could not enter the area. It digs into a certain depth, does not allow the mole to make a move. Because the underground diggers dig tunnels at a level of 10-100 cm from the surface, it is advisable to dig in a protective net of 150-200 cm.

The second installation option involves the placement of the grid throughout the land at a certain depth. Moles when digging tunnels and holes throw the earth to the surface, form molehills. Having not received such an opportunity, the animal moves to the territory where it can be done.

On a note!

The principle of operation is extremely simple, but there are some nuances. Not always the net from moles under the lawn gives the desired results. Despite the ease of use, there are certain rules that should be followed.

The right choice of material

The grid has a different cell diameter, made of metal, a modern polymer. To ensure a complete barrier, size must be considered mole, the principle of its activity. The animal is small on average 13 cm in length. The body is flexible, oblong. The animal digs the ground with front shovel-like paws with long claws, screws a muzzle into the hole, the whole body. Hind legs throws the soil. The cell size should be as small as possible, otherwise the mole will overcome the barrier. Allowed value is 25 * 25 mm.

The second very important point is the material. The iron mesh is strong, reliable, but short-lived. The material is in the ground, undergoes deformation, corrosion, gradually rusts, loses strength. In a few years, the mole will be able to break through, gnaw cells, make its way to the garden, lawn. This shortcoming was eliminated by manufacturers of modern mesh from moles made of polymer materials.

On a note!

The plastic construction is extremely strong, durable, not exposed to the negative effects of moisture, resistant to frost, microorganisms. By setting a barrier on the lawn by all the rules, you can forever forget about fight against moles on his site.

Installation methods

The main objective of the design is to prevent the animals from entering the site or stop their activity. The most correct option is to take care of protecting your possessions before planting trees, garden crops, digging flower beds, lawns. But as practice shows, they begin to sound the alarm even when large moleholes appear on a beautiful lawn or young trees in the garden begin to suffer.

There are several ways to install a grid from moles.

• Vertical.It is laid on the surface of the earth with a continuous veil over the entire lawn at a depth of 5-50 cm. The earth is poured on top or left to lie like that. As the grass grows, the mesh will hide, it will not be visible.
• Horizontal Designed to enclose the entire lawn. They dig a structure to a depth of 1 m around the perimeter of the entire garden, kitchen garden, lawn or in separate sections. A structure of 20 cm is taken out of the ground, a kind of fence is obtained.
• Solid. The mesh is laid with a continuous cloth over the entire area of ​​the lawn. At the joints, one part of the mesh is applied to the second, overlapping by 10 cm.

In each case, there are disadvantages. With a vertical grid on the lawn, it is difficult to determine the optimal depth. The mole can fish at a depth of 5 to 150 cm from the surface. To eliminate this drawback, an additional horizontal lawn protection is required, which will not allow animals to climb into the area.

Instruction manual

Installing a grid from moles is very simple, but significant physical costs are required. It will require the involvement of equipment for digging trenches, removing the soil layer. An exception is the case when the grid is fixed on top of the lawn.

Horizontal installation:

1. A trench of at least 30 cm wide and 80 cm deep is dug around the entire perimeter of the site.
2. A grid is installed taking into account that it should protrude 30 cm above the ground.
3. At the joints, the structure is overlapped with an overlap of up to 10 cm.
4. They fill up the trench, ram the ground.

Vertical installation:

1. Throughout the site, remove soil at 10 cm.
2. Lay out the net with a solid cloth.
3. At the joints, lay an overlap of 10 cm, additionally fixed with brackets.
4. They fill the earth, tamp.

For partial protection of a certain land plot, you can use it on your own, dig a trench, remove the top layer of soil, then fill it up manually. To install a barrier in large areas, it is advisable to attract equipment, and this is an additional cost. If everything is done according to the rules, the protection of their possessions will be ensured for many years. fight against moles, shrews and other pests will not be needed.

Efficient products

When choosing the right product, you need to focus not only on price, but also quality. It is worth paying attention to the following brands.

Feedback

Protected the lawn. Digging to a depth of 20 cm. Set the grid along and across. Krotovin has not been observed for 2 years. Once spent, now we live in peace. Great thing, I recommend everyone to put even before the start of planting crops.

Feedback

Last year, moles outweighed the entire flowerbed with tulips. I'm not a supporter to kill catch all the moles I did not succeed. This year I decided to put a net protection on the lawn.
