After a mole appears on a country plot, many summer residents immediately make a disappointing conclusion: the harvest this year will be poor.
The forecast is not unfounded: when digging the ground, the representative of the insectivorous order not only worsens the condition of the soil, but also damages the roots of plants.
However, it is possible to save the harvest of garden crops if measures are taken in a timely manner.
The problem is that popular methods of dealing with moles are not always effective and safe.
We are talking about such methods as flooding passages, using traps and snares, as well as using odors that are unpleasant for the animal.
But noise repellents often help. But is it necessary to buy an expensive device? An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh assures: there is no need for this.
We need to collect more of these containers (usually beer and sweet carbonated drinks are sold in them).
Next, you should stick a thin metal rod into the ground. The lower end of the device should be at a depth of 0.5 meters.
An aluminum can must be placed on the top end.
It is advisable to install as many of these repellents as possible.
The slightest gust of wind is enough to create a loud and very unpleasant sound for moles. The uninvited "guests" will certainly leave the area.
The above-described method of fighting insectivores is good because it is cheap, simple and effective.
