Moles are small rodents that love to burrow underground, uprooting your backyard and threatening the structure of your home. While store-bought mole repellents and traps claim to be a solution to your burrowing rodent problem, how effective are these treatments at getting rid of moles?
Mole repellent can be effective at deterring moles, if used correctly.
Repellents either come in a liquid spray that can be used on affected areas or solid pellets that are inserted into molehills. Chemical-free ultrasonic repellents send vibrations underground and overwhelm their sense of hearing.
Castor oil is another active ingredient found in most mole repellents because its scent is overpowering to a mole’s sense of taste and smell. When properly applied, castor oil will seep into mole burrows and drive the pests away.
If mole repellents don’t work, store-bought traps are another often effective method of mole removal.
Traps are a less humane method of getting rid of moles than natural repellents. While mole traps can work if set up correctly, they can be tricky and hard to maintain. There are several different types of mole traps with varying levels of efficiency. How well a trap works depends on the following factors:
