Hi

I've seen a battery operated device that emits sound waves to deter moles.
Does anyone know whether they work or not? And before I get flamed for
sending moles onto other peoples land, they will actually just stay
(hopefully) out of my garden and go into my surrounding fields where they
can do as they please. Thanks for any advice.

Polly

By doing that you are signing moley's death warrant anyway.
Farmers have no hesitation in setting mole traps.

I use these devices and find that they do work though with
limitations. This is that they need to be deployed before the moles
have established a too extensive network of runs.

The other people should not have given the moles access to your land
:-)))))))

I am a farmer, of sheep. Like I said, I own the surrounding fields where
they would go to and they can do what they like there. I would like them
just to stay out of my garden area!!

I have the same situation. In my case, my two cats do the job for me. They
keep the garden and the nearest fields free from moles. The nearest mole
hills are about 500 yards away.

They also help with other small rodents (as do the Jack Russell and the
chickens). It seems that rodents don't have many friends. :-)

True, but I don't think moles are rodents.

If you are going to get one then get the solar powered version (I have
5 in a large garden ) it saves paying for batteries and they are
cheaper in the first place!!!

The Q

PS yes the have a rechargeable battery inside so they work all night
as well!

Polly,

My neighbours invested in one, and it does appear to have done the trick.
One word of warning - when in their garden I can hear the noise it makes,
so you may find this annoying after a while - obviously depends on size of
garden and proximity.

One of our cats used to be very good at catching moles and would regularly
dump them in the yard!! However, she doesn't seem to bother now, which is
no good. She still catches mice, rats and birds though, so I can't complain
too much.

Wow, I didn't realise it would be that loud. I thought it would be very
quiet and only heard through the ground. Mind you, I don't think it would
bother me as it wouldn't be too close to the house. Thanks for the info.

The cheapest mole repellant I've heard of it one of those little fancy windmill
things that children play with. Just stick it in the ground and the moles
should flee.......allegedly.

Dave.

That's interesting. I might give it a go. Thanks.

Polly,

Whilst I can hear it when I am in their garden - it is not loud. Its a
quiet background noise that gets irritating because it is repetative. It
may also depend on your hearing range

Hmm.... I supose I can hear it from approx 3 - 6 ft distance, you wouldn't
notice it further away than that, and definatley not in the house.
