Construction and repair by own hands

How to catch a mole in the garden: effective motods.

Moles can take advantage of any dacha site, digging well-maintained beds and thus destroying the root system of crops. Getting rid of an uninvited guest is a difficult task. To solve it, it is often necessary to try several proven methods of destroying pests.

Especially many moles in cottages can be found in early summer. This is due to the fact that in the forest and in the meadows the upper layer of the soil is noticeably drained and the food reserves there are scarce. And on the vegetable garden in the friable earth a lot of appetizing food. That's why moles here and migrate here.

There are a lot of ways to get rid of these pests, but they help one to the gardeners, and for others they are completely useless. What are the gardener gardeners ready to offer today in order to successfully get rid of the mole on the site?

One of the most popular and well-known methods is an iron pole stuck into the ground, at the end of which a metal canal is bending, making a clang at the blow of the wind (alternatively a propeller-propeller made of a plastic bottle). To some, this method helps to drive moles out of the garden.

How to catch a mole in a garden: ways



  • Catch moles and not let them on the site can be different. Well, for example, in order for the animal not to penetrate the site, in spring along its entire perimeter in the ground vertically dig a fine-mesh galvanized or plastic mesh. However, the depth of its embedding in the soil is at least 1.2 m down. This is a rather laborious process, but the result is almost one hundred percent. But here in any case you can not miss a shovel and somewhere accidentally damage the grid, the mole will certainly find this move and penetrate through it to the site.
  • You can, of course, try to dig in something else, for example, slate or tin. But do not forget about the minimum depth: if you are not ready for such complex work, then do not do it with simplification. Dug in at least 60-70 cm obstacles no weather you will not do - just wasting your time.
  • Inveterate fishermen came up with the idea of ​​catching moles, like a fish - on the hook. Use for this purpose more reliable three-pointed hooks, tied to a heavy stick, so that the pest could not escape with it. Excavate a fresh hole, on both sides of the discovered dark tunnel lay on the hook. Mole necessarily come here to close the ground open hole and hook on the hook.
  • Good help is also provided to standard wire gables, only they must be made of durable material and placed in wormhole tunnels constantly.

Repeller moles own hands: how to make?



More humane ways of catching moles - the use of special scarers. Dachnikov-craftsmen invented the device with a sonorous name - the trap of Solomon. It is made of tin or galvanized iron. It represents a cylinder about 40 cm long and of such diameter that it could easily fit into any mole tunnel. At the ends of this cylinder, the hanging doors are made, opening only inwards, the specially bent edges of the cylinder do not allow to open outwards.

Trap Solomon neatly put in a tunnel, cover the soil and mark this place for yourself. The mole will go around its labyrinths and from either end will fall into the Solomon trap, the door will slam, and the wrecker will be in captivity. Then you can release the mole in the nearest forest or in a meadow.

Moles often prevent the farmers from growing crops. These pests are cunning enough, so catching them is not easy. To get rid of moles, you can use various traps and scarers. It is enough to choose a method or device that will help catch the animal without harming it. After this, the animal can be released to freedom, without fear that he will return back.

A humane way of capturing underground animals


A sure sign that the mole is working on the site, there will be unknown where the appeared piles of loose land that cover the entrance to the burrows. What can harm a blind little animal gardener? Finds food animal, guided by its ideal scent and hearing. Since in the soil treated by various fertilizers the percentage of population of worms, midges, larvae of beetles is much greater, mole families settle next to the "feeder".

The myth that moles are vegetarians does not correspond to reality, because their main diet is insects or mice, and to damage the growth of the harvest the mole family can be dug through a network of courses and climbs in fertile soil.

Mole traps exist in several variations. If the population of pests in the territory is small, then humane options, such as self-made plastic traps, will be used to solve the problem.

Popular in the people lyubovushki

The principle of the device

If the mole has already settled, then scarers are unlikely to have an effect. Preferred silence underground animals get used to the noise of windmills, designed from polypropylene bottles, or low-frequency signals of ultrasonic devices.

Uncomplicated for manufacturing devices are useful for fighting moles in small areas: in the garden, garden, near the house.

A trap from a plastic bottle

In specialized stores it will be possible to find a trap in the form of a pipe made of plastic. You can make homemade homemade homemade handicrafts identical in functionality. The principle of operation of the purchased one will not differ from the self-made trap.

The object for catching moles resembles a small piece of pipe, calculated for the size of a mole, with doors at the ends that open only inward.

What will it take to run the device efficiently?

  • In the middle of the pipe you need to put the bait.
  • If you design a trap yourself, consider the volume of the bottles so that the mole body can fit inside.
  • You need to properly install a gag.

Climbing for an appetizing lunch in the form of beetles or earthworms, you will not be able to get out of the trap yourself from a mole yourself.

How to design a trap


Available: a device made of plastic bottles

How to make a crook of plastic bottles? From the purchase pipe, making homemade traps is slightly different.   On the portals devoted to the subject of truck farming, it will be possible to find the necessary drawings, and before starting to work, see what the result should be.

  • Take three empty plastic bottles of the same size.
  • With a stationery knife or scissors, cut the bottom and top from the first bottle.
  • The two remaining ones should be cut approximately in the middle. For a trap, only the tops are required.
  • Cut the neck, creating "petals".
  • In the body of the main bottle on both sides, place the necks.

Crawling into such a trap, it will not be a problem for the mole to bend the petal, and after the pest reaches the desired goal in the main hollow section, the closed neck will not let it out.

Where to place the gendarmerie

A correctly created trap will not guarantee that a mole will enter it. To obtain the result, the correct installation of the live-trap is required.

Its homemade device is installed exclusively in wormholes.


Preparation and placement of crocs

It is advisable to dig in plastic pipes in newly dug holes.   Find them is not difficult, because they are located relatively close to the surface of the soil near the dug heaps. Where the mole made its way, the soil loosened in the tunnel will be slightly elevated. Details of the installation can be found on video posted on the Internet.

The effectiveness of the method

Proven in practice made a trap for moles own hands is not inferior to store analogues. The use of simple, uncomplicated technology will allow you to get rid of the pest, while saving life accidentally caught on your territory to the animal.

Common errors that prevent the trap from functioning:

  • Having chosen the old move for the installation, which the mole family has not used for a long time, the lizards will simply sit idle.
  • There should not be a deadlock on the trap, make access only two-sided.
  • For reliability, secure the edges with tape or tape.

The effectiveness of rabbits is the same as that of traps, and using this method of fighting, you will not reduce the population of moles.

Catch the mole in the jar

Having tested the live-trotter presented by the pipe, an additional way to protect the crop will be a croaker-bank. Making it much easier. The basis can be a bucket, a cut five-liter bottle, a glass jar.   The main criterion for selection will be open access from the top for the animal.

Scheme of mole catching in the made apparatus:

  • Dig a hole at least 25 cm deep.
  • Digging is required where fresh air passes.
  • To the animal did not notice the trick, close to the container placed in the recess slightly tighten the earth.
  • It is necessary to cover the trap on top with a dense cloth or wood, so that light does not penetrate into the manhole.

The mole, moving along the tunnel, gets into a container from which it can not escape.

What to do with a captured animal


When the animal was caught

Installing traps for moles in the garden or garden area, they should be checked for "production" several times a day, otherwise the animal will simply die from lack of water, food.

Blinded animals are not as harmless as a human being. Protecting yourself from danger during release from the live-stock, the mole can bite with sharp teeth.

You should treat the find with care. It is best to take out the mint in a pipe or a bank to a remote area, and after that, let it go to freedom.

Guarantee that the new species will not settle on the site, there is no, but it will not be and with the use of deadly traps.

Working mechanisms

If the population of moles exceeds 5-10 individuals, then you can not do without traps. They operate without fail. You can make designs yourself, but it is preferable to purchase trigger mechanisms on springs in specialized stores. Thus, you will not be injured in the manufacturing process, the structure will be strong, and in case of breakage or failure to perform the functions, it is always possible to order repair under the warranty coupon.

Trap for an underground animal

The mole trap is a ready-made device, when it comes into contact with which the animal is killed by the method of strangulation, fracture of the cervical vertebrae. The basis for the traps is a wire base.

To free the territory from moles can be a trap-scissors, plunger mechanisms, all sorts of strikes, self-marks.

Catch a scissors-tracer

Choosing a trap, represented by a design in a form similar to scissors, you will surely find out that it worked. Krotolovka of this type is rather well known among truck farmers due to its advantages:

  • It can be easily installed. It is necessary to insert the handles into the soil, to cock the mechanism.
  • It's even possible to see that the trap has worked.
  • The sensitivity is adjustable.

Disadvantages of the method of protection from pests:

  • A small size is sometimes not enough to place the device in a tunnel at a depth.
  • If you do not adjust the sensitivity, it works on the foliage, stones, nuts.
  • When frozen, the frozen handles do not function.

Since the main harvest time is the summer-autumn season, and fresh moves are near the surface, the minuses will not play a decisive role during the purchase.

Scat-1 system against the blind beast

Plunger constructions

In terms of efficiency, the plunger designs are not inferior to the scissors.   There are two main types: "Scat-1", "Scat-2". Krotolovka, regardless of the type, is designed to kill underground inhabitants.

The operating principle of "Scat-1" is similar to the work of a crossbow. To get started, you need to stick the legs into the soil on each side of the mole's cage, raise the spring, which introduces the guard into the hole.

Touching the guard, a spring is triggered, which releases three spokes into the mole, killing the animal.

How does "Scat-2" work? Catching occurs like the first plunger design, only by hitting the guard, the staples clamp the pest, breaking the ridge or limbs.

This method of fighting is considered professional, although the lizards will bring more results, since after the operation of the plunger mechanism it is necessary to re-tension the spring, but a large tube can accommodate at once 2-3 adults.

Does the loop trap work?

A strangling trap on a mole is made of wire. This loop is easy to make yourself. If there is not enough time, then such mechanisms will be found in agricultural stores, the price relative to other traps is not so high.

Like any kind of trap, the wire loop is put into play. Creeping through the round hole, the mechanism works, and the mole squeezes the deadly loop.

The device is designed for reusable use, so, having bought several traps, it will be possible to clean the land of moles, preferring to settle families.

Catch on the harpoon

Another type will be various self-sights . This laborious process of catching moles can even hurt a person.How does the ghetto work?


Harpoon for capturing an underground animal

  • In the course laid piled with gunpowder and shot pipe, sealed on one side.
  • Nichrome wire is fed to the gunpowder.
  • In the same way, connect the motion sensor at a distance of 20-30 cm from the crossbow.
  • Passing by, the sensor, the wire is heated, the device kills the animal.

Absolutely anti-human methods of struggle are not only laborious, but also most useless, because if the mechanism does not work, then the animal is injured, it will be long and painful to die.

Mole is not a fish

Especially "sophisticated" amateurs hunt advise catching moles on the hook. Such an action, in its essence, is useless, as the animal is traumatized, and eventually dies. How does the mole catch hooks?

Triple fish hooks on the line fall into the manhole, pulling the remainder of the line outward. Making his way in search of food, the mole spits on sharp hooks that pierce the skin.Trying to free himself, the animal begins to move convulsively, thus moving the stick to which the line is fixed.

To pull out the hook that hooked on the muscle fibers of the animal is almost impossible, and from the received injuries and lost blood the mole slowly dies for several days.

Simple ways to catch a mole

For mole, accidentally caught on the treated area, you can find a one-time, harmless way of fishing. Catching will be free, but not necessarily fruitful.

If you have a lot of free time, then try to catch the beast with a shovel.Yes, yes, for gardeners this is a perfectly acceptable method.

After finding the course, it is necessary to close the way with a shovel, top down the ground to notice the speed of its movement during the appearance of the animal. Having received a signal from a mole that he is making his way through the hole, stop the move from the other side.Another shovel dig a frightened beast and transfer it to another place where it will begin a new life.

For catching moles, I use the usual standard crocheting, new, not yet used, traps are always somewhat correct. The diameter of the input ring is expanded to 6 centimeters, I carefully verify that the guard should move freely along the crest of the gattoop, be parallel to the input ring and have a guard (trigger) no longer than 5 millimeters. Such a reconciliation and correction of existing defects eliminate the breaks, significantly increasing the effectiveness of the actions of the crocs.

I wear a knuckleblader on a thick wire bent by a ring. It's more convenient than using a bag where they cling to each other. This way of wearing a crotoner frees up your hands, which allows you not only to prepare another trap, but even to remove the skin from the extracted animal.

To install the crochet, I use a knife, it should be long enough, with a wide rounded end and a wooden handle. With such a knife, it is convenient to cut out pieces of turf and use it as a scapula when sampling the crumbling earth from a mole path, it is also convenient to place a ground with a wooden handle around the established croton.

I start trading from the twentieth of June, when the young will grow enough to give full skins. I catch moles until late autumn and even after falling out of the snow.
During the fishing season, I place the crooks for up to 25 kilometers, break the fenced territory into a number of sites and each of them use a relatively short time, observing a certain order. This provides not only good catching results, but also its continuity, as well as the natural restoration of mole stocks in a uniformly polluted area.

Moles love the rich earth, rich in earthworms and larvae of insects.

In our places most of the moleholes are found in the alders. In the fields, I track the mole paths along the borders, in the forest - on roads and trails, and along the banks of streams. It is necessary to be able to distinguish fodder galleries of moles from more deep-lying permanent courses leading to their nesting chambers.

Movements of moles

Feeding moles   lie in the surface layer of the soil at a depth of 1 to 5 centimeters, and have compact walls. They can often be seen in the forest in the form of furrows of several elevated ground. Moles, as a rule, are rarely used by these ways.

Permanent moves of moles   lie at a depth of 14-20 centimeters. Detect these moves easily on discarded piles of earth - molehills. These moves differ smooth rammed walls, as the animals often visit them, the yearlings use some of these moves simultaneously, these are the so-called detours. Permanent moves are the most convenient places for installing crocs.


In a strong drought I catch moles in low places:

  • along the creeks and ditches,
  • on the paths laid by people or cattle,
  • in the rainy - on elevated places, where the animals move from the holes filled in the lowlands.

Feed and permanent mole moves   very often they are located close to each other, forming a complex weave. To distinguish them, often have to open the moves and see. The constant stroke, as already mentioned above, is smooth and has many paw prints, and the stern is characterized by loose walls and scree. At the last to put the molehill does not make sense.

Installation of crocs

During the movement of young animals I try to find the children's moves. On each of them you can catch moles for 5-6 days, and you need to check the traps at least 3-4 times a day. This makes it possible to catch a larger number of animals, since the moles that have been caught and not taken out in time are blocking the way, while others are bypassed, after which it becomes difficult to catch them. Given that the young moles are slightly smaller than adults, the lower edge of the lodge is tilted to the entrance ring.

At the end of the summer, when moles break up into pairs, I start to move the traps more often and put them in larger numbers. After catching two moles in one move, I move the traps to another place.

I must say that I do not place the crooks in every row of moles in a row, but in 2-3, depending on their number. Missed moves trample down and further on the recovery I find out the attendance of their moles. This makes it possible to unmistakably move the gatwalkers, which improves the fishery with significant time savings.

To install the crawl, I select the places where the courses cross sections with more compacted soil   - the paths laid by man or cattle. In such places, the walk is usually not one, but several animals. In drought moles it is difficult to dig a ground compacted under the trail, so often on both sides of it there are outlets on the surface.

To put the mower on the side of the path, I open the path with a knife. A piece of taken out turf must be of such size that it would be convenient to place a trap. Lumps of earth or rubbed, which fell into the course, carefully delete. In the hole I insert a gathe. I do this so that the input ring is slightly advanced into the undisturbed part of the mole's path, and its spring is turned towards the path. It happens that the mole undermines the trap and bypasses it. To prevent this, it is necessary to press the input ring into the ground one centimeter when setting up the crook, and, accordingly, select the ground under the lodge so that it does not engage with the bottom edge, and the crush does not encounter any obstacles during the descent. I press the spring so that the crozier lies tight, I touch the ground on the sides with the handle of the knife. Open the course with the installed gendarme I cover with turf, in the same way I install the gatwalk on the other side of the path.

On sandy soils, cracks often crumble and in such cases moles pass by traps. To avoid this, you must especially carefully monitor the cleanliness of the stroke, and the trap must be secured with a peg, pushing it into the spring ring. At a distance of a meter from the gag, and further, at the same distance from each other, I make three screes. Then, mole, carefully restoring the first scree, to the trap suits safely and gets into it.

At the roadways the crooks are put no closer than half a meter from the track, otherwise they can easily be crushed. Near the roads, along which the tractor passes, the crooks from vibration often slam in vain. To prevent this from happening, when I watch them, I pour the ground on the trigger and then no self-launches occur.


Where cattle are grazed, it is necessary to put across the path two or three sticks or poles. Animals step over them and the crooks remain untrammeled.

In pastures, where animals often push wormholes, when setting traps, I somewhat bend the guard back, because the mole often walks along the road, pushing the ground in front of him.

In the late autumn, when the earth is already beginning to freeze, when installing crocs, you need to make for them a depression of one centimeter in the form of a tray. The turf can not be closed, as it will freeze and the crooks will have to be cut down. It is necessary to close only with straw flakes. In order not to lose the place of the traps after the snowfall, it is necessary to mark them with signs.

Mole skin

Skin with the mole caught should be removed as soon as possible. It is especially important to do this in hot weather. I often shoot skins literally on the go, while inspecting the traps. At skill it takes no more than 1 - 2 minutes. First of all, I cut off all my paws and my tail. Then, placing the animal on the palm of the left hand with the belly up, I make a small longitudinal incision on the throat. In the hole made, I insert the tip of the knife with the point upwards, and pushing it to the base of the tail, I cut the skin in the middle of the chest and abdomen. Then I start to remove the skin from the carcass, gently tearing it with my hands to the right and left. Making an incision, it is necessary to watch, so as not to damage the muscles of the stomach and the viscera and not to soil the skin.

I remove the removed skin to dry it to the board, smooth out, with six thin studs or pins. Skins of young moles should be 10 centimeters long and 8 centimeters wide. Skins of old moles reach 12 centimeters in length and 10 centimeters in width.


  There are various ways how to catch a mole or simply not to let it on your site, for this purpose invented such devices as: a mole screen, all kinds of traps and traps.

In order that the animal does not penetrate the site, dig a galvanized or plastic mesh with small cells around the perimeter of your garden, to a depth of at least 1.2 m. While this process is quite laborious, the result of protection is 100%. However, please note that the mole net should be installed without any damage or cracks, as the animal will certainly use them for penetration. Other barriers can serve as tin or slate. Do not forget about the minimum depth, in case you are not ready for such difficulties, then no simplified options will not be effective.

If you thought that the mole net is not a suitable option, make traps for moles from improvised materials:

  • Catch the animal on the fish hook. Use for this purpose a reliable three-pointed crochet, previously tied to a strong and heavy stick, so that the mole does not run away with it. Find a freshly dug mole on the site, dig it out and on both sides of the path lay it on the hook. The animal, having come to this place, will catch on the hook.
  • There is a more humane way to catch a mole, with the help of a trap invented by summer residents - craftsmen under the loud name "The Trap of Solomon". It is made of galvanized iron or zinc, a cylinder is made of this material, about 40 cm long and so large that the device fits into the molehill tunnel. Both ends of the tube close the doors, which can only open inwards, but can not open outwards due to the specially bent edges of the cylinder. This device is installed in a tunnel, covered with a layer of soil, placing marks on this place. The mole, bypassing its tunnels, from either end will fall into the trap, the door will snap, and the pest will be locked up. Later you can free the mole and release it in the forest or in the meadow.

It shows a good result for the mole trap, it can be metal or wire (avoid plastic products), the main thing is that it was made of durable material and clearly worked. After all, if the mole can escape, the next time he will bypass the various devices on the tenth road, and especially clever animals dig in their soil.

An effective way to catch a mole is to use various ready-made traps and tunnel traps that are sold in specialized stores.

Trap - Scissors

Advantages:

  • Easy to install at a shallow depth;
  • You can track the trigger;
  • Adjusts the sensitivity of the device;
  • The design is simple and reliable;

So, let's analyze the example of a trap-scissors, how to catch a mole. If you bought traps, and, the next step is to install it correctly in the right place. To do this, survey the perimeter of your site, when you find the main move, take it well. Moles necessarily return to restore working moves, if this did not happen, then there is no point in putting the trap here. In the event that the turn turned out to be working, install traps in it, on both sides, so that the input rings are directed to both sides. From above, cover the course with slate, boards or some kind of material.

Disadvantages:

  • Despite the fact that the trap is fairly simple to use, setting it in a tunnel at great depth requires some skill.
  • The location of the trap should be such that the moving parts are not obstructed by stones, clods of earth.
  • At low temperatures in the ground, the handles can freeze, and the trap may not work.
  • With strong precipitation and soil blurring, the trap becomes more noticeable.

Tunnel Trap

A good remedy against the mole, its design in the form of a half-tunnel.

Advantages:

  • Easy to install in the mole passage;
  • Easily adjustable sensitivity of the mechanism;
  • The working mechanism does not stick because of foreign objects;
  • Used in deep and shallow passages.
  • Is able to neutralize two moles simultaneously.


Disadvantages:

  • If not properly installed, you can injure yourself;
  • If you lose a label, it's hard to find a trap;

Advantages:

  • The trap does not move from touching the nose or the feet of a mole, but from pushing the earth to restore a previously dug tunnel.
  • Useful in the presence of moles, who can bypass traps;
  • Does not require additional adjustment before use;


Disadvantages:

  • The working mechanism can be jammed due to the ingress of foreign objects;

As a result, we can say that it is recommended to use only humane methods - how to catch a mole, using for this purpose traps, traps or such simple adaptation, as: a grid from moles. The main task is to peacefully expel the animal from the site.

That's right - it's time to finish with this! Do you agree? That's why we decided to publish an exclusive interview with Professor Dikulin which he revealed the secrets of getting rid of joint pains, arthritis and arthrosis.

You will need - a mole trap for your moles with your own hands at home

Often, farmers have some problems with growing root crops when moles appear on the site. These normal animals bring a lot of benefit by eating a variety of harmful insects, but they are also capable of harming crops or lawns. Therefore, in this article, we will talk about how to catch a mole yourself using a variety of methods and traps.

Usually the appearance of moles is observed on land plots where the soil is rather loose, damp and fertile. In fact, it's okay if you have moles in the garden or garden.

When there are signs of their life, it is not necessary to immediately run to the store for traps or poison. It should be remembered that their appearance does not mean that the farmer will have only problems. Since this small animal is a predator, it eats small insects, as well as rodents, which it will find. The mole is constantly in search of food because of the abundant waste of energy during the digging of underground passages. Therefore, they try to settle in places where the soil is fertile and friable. In such a soil, you can always find many different insects, snails, slugs and worms, which the moles gladly eat.

If a few moles have appeared on the site, it will mostly do more good than harm. However, after summer it is advisable to install special scarers so that by the end of autumn they leave the territory. Otherwise, the kids who grow up will also start looking for food. In case of its lack of food, farmers will be able to see the dug soil on their site. And this will create a number of problems that are undesirable.

To prevent such consequences, it is better to try to get rid of moles before increasing their population near their home. Otherwise, the benefit will turn into a problem for the owners. With an increase in the population of moles, they will more actively dig the ground on the surface. As a result, these normal animals will begin to damage the root system of plants. This is dangerous for root crops, as well as seedlings with thin stems and a small rhizome (for example, tomatoes). Also, various ornamental flowers that are usually planted on lawns are very vulnerable to moles.


If in the process of their livelihood the animals deliver a lot of problems, then one should ask how to catch a mole?

Video "Mole in the garden"

From the video you will find out what to do if there is a mole on your site.

Pest control: some methods

So how do you catch a mole if it hurts vegetation and tears up lawns? It is desirable to choose humane methods of struggle. Catching moles in the garden is usually not a difficult task for farmers, because now you can use a variety of methods and methods of fishing. In addition, special scarers can be purchased in the market, which are installed against the mole on the site. These are ultrasonic radiators, which are now in great demand.

Answering the question how to catch a mole, we will give some of the most popular methods: the use of funds with a strong odor, scaring devices, special homemade structures, repellents.

Liquids and odoriferous substances

Odorous liquids and substances have become used because moles have a well developed scent. And if you use plants or oils with a sharp and persistent smell, these normal animals just leave the territory themselves.

First, make a hole in the freshly dug moles. Do not use a shovel for this, just a sharp stick or a drill.

You need to get to the horizontal tunnel, and then add 50-60 grams of the prepared liquid there. This product can be prepared from combustible liquids, because they emit a very strong and sharp odor. Mix in a glass of kerosene (gasoline) and fuel oil in a ratio of 1 to 2. After that, pour a solution into the hole, and fill it with earth, ramming from above.

In molehills it is possible to fall asleep makhorka, tobacco, chloride limestone, naphthalene, Paklut (previously impregnated with kerosene or tar). Thus, because of the persistent and unpleasant odor that will extend throughout the system of excavated passages, moles will leave this site.

Deterrent devices

The next method of combating moles - the use of scaring devices. The most popular of these are ultrasonic devices that emit low-frequency sound. The hearing of normal animals is susceptible to ultrasound, which causes them irritation, a sense of panic and fear. Influencing the nervous system, ultrasound makes moles leave their territory on their own without causing physical harm to them. Also, ultrasonic scarers are very convenient to use, and have an affordable cost.

Repellers can be made by yourself. They usually use plastic bottles.

There is another available method that will allow you to drive out pests from your site. This is an old method, proven in practice by our ancestors. The principle of its action: to create noise and vibration on the land.

Reed is inserted into the molehills on the perimeter. It is desirable that it was not very high - just two meters in height. Inserting it into the ground, on the surface you need to leave 80-90 centimeters. Moles are very poorly seen, but their hearing is good.

When the wind rises, he will start to make a buzzing sound - as if he "walks" through the pipe. This sound can be heard very well under the ground. In addition, the wind will create vibrational vibrations, driving away moles from the site.

Turntable

It is also manufactured using a plastic bottle. You can also put noisy turntables, vanes, equipped with propellers. On their axis they put cans on which stones are put. The pin must be inserted into the ground. When there is a whiff of wind, the propeller will move. As a result, the pebbles begin to growl. The sound is transmitted to the ground via a pin.

Bottle Trills

Their use is considered very effective. It is necessary to prepare an empty bottle. Best of all, if it comes from champagne. The bottle must be dug into the ground. You should choose for this an open purged place. It is necessary to dig the bottle strictly at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the soil surface. When the wind will penetrate there, there will be "howl". These sounds scare the animals very much.

Disposal of repellents

Often, farms use ordinary plants that are planted around the perimeter of the site. The principle of action of these plants is similar to repellents, which are used to deter animals. As a result, you can plant enough seedlings, which exudes an unpleasant smell for moles.

Also to the advantages of natural repellents is the fact that it is not necessary to pollute the soil with chemicals.

Which plants can have a certain effect: hazel grouse emperor, glade, onion and garlic, castor oil, spurge, wormwood, velvet.

Types of traps

If farmers are interested in how to catch a mole using traps, then you can consider a couple of species. These methods are less humane than the above, but they are quite effective.

It should be noted that scarers act constantly and are called upon to drive away all moles that want to settle in your area. Traps are usually triggered by one individual.

One of the simplest pitfalls that you can use in your garden is "hook fishing". It is necessary to take triple hooks, and lay them in a previously excavated molehill. Hooks are connected by a thin wire, and are placed from two sides in the passage. When the animal will climb into the burrow, it will catch on to them, and may get stuck. The wire should be fixed on a stationary structure, and you can also make an improvised "bell" from a tin can and small pebbles. As soon as the mole comes, you will immediately hear about it.

Here are two more types of self-made traps.

"Quiet hunting"

This method of catching moles has existed for a very long time. At one time it was tested by menagerie workers. They found a place where the mole comes out, and then waited for the animal to come and start digging in this place. The mink could dig a little, so that the mole came to fix it, since he does not like it when air moves in his moves.


As soon as the workers saw that the mole began to bury the exit, they drove the bayonet shovel into the ground across their passage, and then dug it out with the soil, pulling it out. It was necessary to wait sometimes for a long time, and it was necessary to act quickly when a pest was introduced.

"Pan" trap

This method is one of the most effective among the traps that farmers usually use on their land. This is a fairly simple trap for moles.

First you need to find approximately where the middle of the fresh path that was made by the mole is. Then, rupture this passage, below its level, a pan is poured in. The pan can be replaced with a glass bottle or other container with the same volume. The most important thing is that the container has smooth high walls. Then the pit should be covered with a small layer of turf, with as much twigs as possible, so that a lot of land does not fall into the container.

Moles move under the thickness of the ground fairly quickly, and such traps are not noticed. When they get into such tanks, they will not be able to get out of there themselves. A captured animal can be released far beyond your domains.
