One of the simplest and most humane ways to rid your property of uninvited “guests”.

An experienced gardener can make a list of his main enemies. And the mole will take not the last place in this list.

This animal confidently furrows underground spaces, "emerging" in the most inappropriate places. Moles' activities harm garden beds, flower beds and ideal lawns.

Demand creates supply. The struggle of summer residents with moles inspired manufacturers to create various traps and preparations.

Such means do not always work. In addition, not all summer residents strive to reduce the number of moles. The goal is one - to make the animals bypass the site.

So, experienced gardeners have noticed that moles cannot stand celandine. Many summer residents have this plant growing abundantly right on their plots.

Celandine is torn off together with the roots and finely chopped. The plant releases juice, a specific smell appears, which moles, who have an excellent sense of smell, do not like.

The chopped grass is spread over the mole holes, placing as much greenery as possible there. There are no consequences for the soil, but the moles will run away from the celandine as if from fire.
