If moles have settled on your property, getting rid of them is not so easy.

It will take some effort to stop them from ruining flower beds and lawns.

Some gardeners prefer to plant plants on the plot for such purposes that can repel moles.

This list includes marigolds, garlic and onions, beans, as well as daffodils and lavender.

But experienced gardeners say that it is much more effective to use balls with lavender oil.

They should be placed in holes and covered with earth. The sensitive nose of moles will immediately recognize the hated aroma, which means that the animals will hurry to leave the area.

In addition, as gardeners note, natural birch tar is effective in the fight against moles.

But how to use it? It's simple, as gardeners say. You need to drive in about 10 pegs and drill holes in them, then pour in a little bit of the product so that the tar doesn't leak out, and it's advisable to plug the holes with cotton rags.

All stakes should be buried in the ground where moles run. This is a safe way to drive away pests.
