Effective control of a mole in the garden - from the popular ways to repellents

Each owner of the land knew about the many temptations with which we continuously or periodically to fight.But information about moles is not so much, especially since they are not always settled.Or maybe we just do not notice their presence.But no matter how cute and nice they may seem, especially on television, if it appeared at the cottage or the garden, the harm from them will be really a lot.

breakthrough numerous passages that can be dug up all the land, they completely destroy the root system of landing.After heavy rainfall, snow cover vanishing soil often literally settles in those places where the "racetracks" and shelter animals.

Consider some of the ways and methods of struggle with moles in terms of efficiency, expediency and humanity.

Traditional methods

should be mentioned once that if one of them someone to help, it does not automatically mean that he - "panacea."The effectiveness depends on many factors.And many of these techniques require a significant investment of time, patience and endurance.

Pour water

First , we must understand that the moles are building an extensive network of passages that run through the entire area.How much water to fill all the voids it?And then, in what will become a vegetable garden?Where is the guarantee that all the landing is not "float" and not rots root system of plants?

Second , except for "roads", these animals satisfied and underground resting place, where the water can not reach.And this is natural, as natural instinct tells them that when heavy rain flooded the cave can be, and it is necessary in this case to provide shelter.

Third , where is the guarantee that moved to the "accident" on neighboring land, the mole after some time will not return back?

Fourth , excessive abundance of water much "spoil" life and other inhabitants of the underworld, many of which are very useful.For example, earthworms, which will not only loosen the soil, but also to enrich it.

Make fencing

If you do not mind the time and effort, it is possible to dig around the perimeter of the mesh (metal) with a fine mesh.Above ground it should rise by 20 centimeters - 30. Deep inside - half a meter.For worms, it will not be an obstacle, but by moles save.We need only once to make sure that they are not present at the site, and if there were, the first chase.

This is probably the easiest and most reliable way to protect the garden from the animals without the use of technical innovations and chemistry.Although there is a limit, because still need to take into account the total length of the perimeter.If the garden is large enough, then arrange such protection will be difficult and expensive.

landing

This method gives a good, but a temporary effect.If you land a lot of garlic, onion, the moles will leave, because they do not carry their scent.But after the harvest can come back.And the planting portion of these crops are too tight it makes no sense.Therefore it is possible to use, but with a caveat.

There are many other (extravagant) techniques.For example, repelling moles loud music and firecrackers, filling the entrances to burrows liquid excrement.But their effect - in question as temporary, and most have master during the "procedures" and endure the deafening sounds, and smells.And it is not clear who will be worse.

use of "chemistry»

options, as well as substances, quite a lot.But we need to think about the consequences.As part of this or that affect the environment, the future of the crop?Those who advertise similar means, is hardly too much baked about it.

therefore should not be used for kitchen gardens "chemistry".

Technical means

no exaggeration to say that the ultrasonic repellents moles - the most humane method of struggle with moles.Meaning - not to destroy them, and to deter.They generate sound waves at frequencies that are not available human ear, but moles react to them immediately.

In a few inexpensive domestic models can cite as an example.
