Experienced gardeners, seeing the first mound of earth, immediately rush to scare away the pest.
If you give the mole time, it will feel like a full-fledged owner of the site. In this case, the neat lawn and well-kept beds will be spoiled.

The rags are soaked in kerosene and then wound around a long, strong stick. The cloth, soaked in the odorous liquid, is pushed deeper into the hole.
The mound is covered with a bag, which is pressed down with a heavy stone or bricks. The smell of kerosene will reach the animals, which have a very sensitive sense of smell.
They will try to get out to avoid breathing kerosene, but the stone (bricks) will not let them in. Therefore, the animals will rush away from the site and will not appear in the near future.
