What plants are moles and shrews afraid of: the most humane methods of control
The mole, despite all the work it does underground to loosen the soil and eat many insect pests, is perceived by summer residents as a pest.
Many people first start fighting moles, and then the rampant pests that are left without natural enemies.
If necessary, moles can be driven out of the garden. Here are the most humane methods.
You can use tin cans, which will scare away underground inhabitants with their trembling in the wind and sticks, but a pin with a beer can on a flower bed with delicate flowers clearly does not look good.
Therefore, if you need to fence off a certain area of land without spoiling the appearance, simply plant daffodils around the perimeter.
Flowers will fit into any composition more harmoniously than beer cans, and will work without replacing the battery, as required by ultrasonic repellers.
It is said that moles and shrews cannot stand the smell of bulbous plants.
A similar effect is created by the smell of the bulb of the imperial fritillary, which can also repel rats and mice.
You can also plant black root, which will drive away all rodents, but it is poisonous to humans.
Moles also don't like castor oil plants, marigolds, cypress spurge and legumes.
