7 Ways To Get Rid Of Moles From Your Yard. Moles can wreak havoc on an otherwise gorgeous lawn. There are 6 species of moles living in North America. The most common mole garden pest among them is the Eastern Mole (Scalepus acquaticus).

According to whatforme.com moles live underground and dig out a system of tunnels and chambers, and dispose of the excavated soil by throwing up molehills on the surface. These mounds of soil are the main sign of mole existence.  According to landscaping winston salem, mole tunneling is destructive to your yard and will destroy your grasses root system. If your plants or trees are suffering because of aggressive birds on your property, the bird control professionals on https://primepest.ca/bird-removal/ can help relocate them.

Here are 7 solutions to try to put an end to the takeover and get rid of moles that plague your yard.

Remedies to get rid of Moles

1. Build an Underground  Fence Barrier

Setting up an underground fence around the perimeter of your lawn or yard is a great way to prevent the entry of moles in your property. Make sure the fence is deep enough to make it difficult for the mole to dig under it and enter your garden. Ideally, it should be 2 feet deep and about 6 inches above the surface, to keep them away. Barriers will help your garden with long-term protection from moles.

However at thanos home, there is a solar powered animal repellent with smart design, auto switch the ultrasonic frequency that can repel different animals like moles. This works circularly, the frequency will be increased step by step, until the animal leaves.

2. Sonic Spikes

The gadget made by Sweeney’s, is solar powered, so no need for batteries. A single spike radiates out with the sonic pulse, making a mechanical sound every 30 seconds in a circular pattern for about 50 feet in all directions. The little diggers don’t like it and will leave after a couple a days. Dry, sandy and peat soils don’t allow the pulses to carry as far. Pulse needs unobstructed soil to work right, so if you have a huge sewer pipe, it will block the pulse. If you want to avoid all the hassle, companies like Alpha Pest Control can definitely handle it with efficiency and provide professional pest control services.

3. Attack Their Food Source

No animal will make home in your garden if there is no food for them. So, one of the best ways to get rid of pests and moles is to completely eliminate their food source. Moles like to feed on soil dwellers such as earthworms, slugs, and other worms. Eliminating them from your garden will automatically reduce the mole nuisance. To get rid of grubs, insects, and larvae you can use natural repellents such as milky spore, nematodes or neem oil. By getting rid of their food, you should be able to get rid of moles.

4. Mole-Unfriendly Flowers and Plants

Castor oil is an effective mole repellent as it causes them to itch and deters them from your yard.  You can create your own repellent by mixing 6 ounces of castor oil and 2 tablespoons of dish soap in a gallon of water. Apply to your lawn and be sure to reapply after it rains. You can also plant a vegetative barrier throughout high traffic areas. Plants such as alliums, daffodils, fritillarias, and marigolds will deter little diggers, find more at Drake 7 Dees website.

5. Fish Emulsion

The bad smell will surely deter the moles from your garden. Watering your lawn with fish emulsion 2-3 times a week will keep them away. Fish emulsion is a known fertilizer so using it can also help make your soil more fertile.

6. Use Mole’s Natural Predators

There are certain predators that will deter moles, two of which are cats and owls. If you own a cat, it’s scent alone should help deter moles or you can also take it one step further by pouring the cat litter down the mole tunnels to keep the moles away. You may consider attracting owls to your garden by placing bird nest boxes. It will help owls make frequent visits in your garden preying on the moles you want to get rid of. Other mole predators include foxes, snakes, and dogs.

7. Flooding

If there are too many active mole tunnels in your garden, consider flooding the tunnels with water. Insert a hose inside the active tunnels and turn the water on. Catch them as they try to escape the flooding tunnel and safely move them to a distant place.

With this option you need to be very careful because you can end up flooding your home, if that happens make sure that you visit this website https://idryrestorations.co.nz/flood-restoration/, they offer water restoration services. If you decide to drain the flood on your own, you can purchase a multipurpose drill powered pump. A guttering Colchester supplier can guide you in buying the best guttering for your house that will last for years.
