However, if you get the ratio wrong when you are mixing the repellent it may end up being ineffective or may be too potent, which can damage your lawn. Liquid mole repellents are the most complicated product to use because they must commonly be mixed with dish soap or diluted with water before they can be applied to your yard. Always refer to the product recommendations for initial application technique and reapplication frequency. Granulated repellent lasts longer than liquid or spray repellent, but will eventually need to be reapplied for continued effect. These solutions come in a granulated form, as indicated by their name, which can be sprinkled by hand or directly from the bag, or it can be loaded into granule spreader for a more uniform disbursement. Granulated repellent can include all natural products or chemical-based products which can increase the efficacy of the repellent. In fact, many ultrasonic repellents are powered by solar energy, so they only need to be placed in appropriate locations, then left to do their job. Ultrasonic mole repellents are the most commonly used products because they are relatively easy to use and don’t require frequent attention or reapplication. Ultrasonic mole repellents take advantage of the mole’s delicate sensory organs by sending low-frequency ultrasonic waves at up to 400 Hertz (Hz) into the ground where it irritates, distracts, and repels these subterranean pests. These natural deterrents spread powerful smells into the ground that moles hate and may even give a flavor to the grubs and worms in the soil that disgusts the moles, forcing them to look elsewhere for food.
The only defining factor that differentiates these repellents from other granulated, liquid, and spray types is that only natural products, like castor oil, citronella oil, or garlic, are used in their creation. Natural mole repellents can actually fit into the granulated, liquid, and spray types as well. Mole repellents come in many different types so that you can address your pest infestation with the most appropriate method for your yard, including natural, ultrasonic, granulated, liquid, and spray. Their mounds are easy to identify, with a commonly recognized rounded, volcanic shape.
However, their criss-crossing tunnels can damage plants and cause issues when you want to mow the lawn. Moles very rarely come above the ground, preferring bugs and grubs in the earth to any vegetation.These rodents leave many small, mouse-size holes leading to a web of narrow interconnected tunnels. Voles look more like mice and they feed on shrubs and stems that are close to their holes, spending a portion of their time above ground.
Gopher mounds are fan-shaped and flatter on top than mole mounds and tend to have a hole off to one side. They are also capable of pulling entire plants under the ground to eat. Gophers, which are about the size of ground squirrels, love to eat bulbs and roots.Gophers and voles are both commonly mistaken for moles, and while some products may work for all three pests, this is not the case for all mole repellents.
