| Mole Control Options Usually there is no need to control moles; however, when they become a nuisance, control measures are available.
Havahart® recommends the following mole control options:
Mole Repellents
Mole repellents that contain castor oil or castor beans are the m ost effective repellent for moles. It is thought to give moles an upset stomach, which obligates moles to move away from the "upsetting" food source.
Havahart® Mole Repellent contains castor oil as its active ingredient.
Mole Traps
Two types of traps are available for moles: harpoon and choker loop traps.
When properly placed in the yard, these mole traps provide the simplest most effective means of control.
For mole trapping to succeed, it is vital to select a frequently used tunnel. To locate active tunnels, cave in short sections of several runways by pushing down on them with your foot. be sure to indicate each site with a stick or marker. Moles are very suspicious and will avoid areas that appear odd, so don't disturb the tunnels more than necessary. Check each marked site and place mole traps in tunnels which have been rebuilt. If there is no catch within a day or two, change locations and reset the trap. If you are interested in mole traps, we invite you to visit our sister site Saferbrand.com
Mole Sound Barriers
Sound repellents - including "mole wheels," vibrating windmills, children's pinwheels or similar devices- can be pushed into the tunnels to carry vibrations to disturb the moles. Make sure the effectiveness of the product is valid before purchasing.
Mole Fencing
Fencing small, isolated areas such as flower beds can be very effective. Bury fencing at least 12 inches and bend the above-ground portion outward at a 90 degree angle for an additional 10 inches.
