If moles appear on the site, this does not bode well: the activity of these animals can damage the root system of many plants.

Pests are difficult to control because they rarely show on the surface.

Many summer residents use modern methods of fighting moles, purchasing various repellents. Such devices are effective, but their purchase requires additional expenses.

As it turns out, there are more cost-effective ways.

How to defeat moles

Essential oils

Some aromatic oils are particularly unpleasant for moles, so they will try to get away from the area. Mint and eucalyptus have this effect.

It is quite easy to use them, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a landscape designer and agronomist. It is enough to treat cotton wool with essential oils and place the "surprises" in the soil.

Correct landings

Not everyone knows that planting some common plants can be very helpful in pest control.

You will need to plant marigolds, garlic, daffodils and onions at your dacha. Moles don't like these plants at all.
