Victor Mole and Gopher Repellent Granules - 10 lb

Anyone that has Moles knows that it is an ongoing battle with the unsightly mounds of dirt. . In the past, I have flattened the mounds and was not aware of Victor Mole & Gopher Repellent, till I received the product for review. It is eco-friendly and drives the Moles away with castor oil and a non poisonous proprietary ingredient. If a product advertises that it's going to kill animals with poison, I will completely avoid (unless you're a spider). Good to know there's no chance of harming the little varmints. I found a study conducted by Michigan State University researchers (Dudderar et al. 1995) who tested a product containing castor oil as a tunneling critter repellent. The researchers reported a good degree of effectiveness in reducing the number of active surface tunnels Who knew Moles hated castor oil! The directions say to avoid treating the entire lawn in one application – Which will waste the product and cause Moles to tunnel wildly in any direction to escape the repellent. You want to apply the granules in stages to move the critters away from your yard.. My 5 day:Mole-herding Game:Plan: Day 1 I began with U shaped strategy along the sidewalk, driveway and curb which is where they love to pop out with mounds. Day 2 I repeated the U shape and started first of six herding patterns from left to right to push them off the property. I marked these areas with string tied to landscape pins. Days 3 thru 5 Each successive application to a new area, I re-applied and watered over the "old areas" from the previous days. Rinse- Repeat. Might seem like over doing it, but it is working.Too early to tell if the results will last for the rest of the summer, but so far so good.
