Mole Control: A Modern Approach
A garden, vegetable garden or flower bed is a kind of outlet for summer residents, a place where they spend all their free time from work.
The environmental parameters of megacities are not particularly favorable – there is nothing strange in the fact that citizens spend weekends and holidays outside the city. But is it so easy to create a “blooming oasis” in place of a “lifeless desert”?
In all cases, do owners of suburban real estate receive ownership of the fertile soils on their plot?
Without a doubt, no. The owners of "country haciendas" located both in the central and many other regions of the country, remember as a nightmare the times when they brought dump truck after dump truck of fertile black soil to the plot. The task of arranging a "blooming garden" is not easy - meanwhile, it is not impossible either.
And what will the owners of private farms feel if everything grown in the garden perishes in a matter of days? Do you think this cannot happen? No way! 2-3 days will be enough to destroy all the vegetation if moles come to the site.
It is these small animals that are the “sworn” enemies of summer residents who have put a lot of effort into creating a magnificent garden or flower bed.
Why is mole control at the dacha one of the most important issues? Animals are natural born diggers – in a very short time they are able to dig a large number of tunnels under the garden or vegetable garden.
They are located at a depth of 20-25 cm from the surface of the earth - exactly where the root system of garden and vegetable crops is located.
Moving along tangled passages, moles destroy the roots of plants - within a few days they die.
It is worth mentioning separately the voracity of these little animals – they eat earthworms in huge quantities. The creation of a fertile soil layer is closely connected with their vital activity – the extermination of worms leads to the fact that garden crops are deprived of the opportunity to grow and develop.
What mole control technologies have proven to be the most effective? To tell the truth, despite the wealth of choice, summer residents do not have any special alternatives. The methods that work great with mice, rats and other rodents do not work at all with moles.
Ultrasonic repellents do not have a negative effect on diggers, and they cannot be destroyed with poisoned baits. Uninvited guests can only be destroyed with special traps made of particularly strong steel – no other method of fighting rodents has been invented yet.
The number of traps set on the site must be calculated based on the fact that moles come to new territories in whole families.
Thus, you have to fight with 10-15 individuals - this is the number of devices that need to be placed around the garden (there is little point in fighting with a single animal). The metal trap is placed inside the passage by 20-25 cm, removing the top layer of soil with a sapper shovel or knife. It is important to sprinkle the open steel part with turf - otherwise the moles will quickly smell foreign odors.
To eliminate moles with a guarantee, a team of qualified performers is brought in for cooperation. By choosing professionals, you can be absolutely sure: the moles will be done away with in the shortest possible time.
Specialists effectively combat mole families using a whole range of means. Animal extermination is carried out year-round – the contractors involved have the necessary knowledge to get rid of uninvited guests.
