Moles leave behind piles of earth, damaged plant roots and “dug up” lawns.
When these animals become a real problem, summer residents begin to get rid of them using folk tricks.
You can protect your plot from moles without poison. There are humane and safe for humans and soil methods. There are two effective options that will stop the uninvited "guest".
Moles do not like noise. Even the slightest clanking of metal scares away the pest. Therefore, one of the popular methods is a stick or a pin to which a "turntable" made of tin is attached.
Digging nets into beds is also a proven method, but it is labor-intensive. When making its way to the surface, the mole will encounter a metal net, which will be too tough for the animal.
If you don’t want to bother with digging in the grid and creating a “turntable”, you can use a practical option.
Summer residents know that there are plants that moles cannot stand. Among them, for example, are daffodils. They are beautiful, but their roots are toxic to moles.
Marigolds secrete natural insecticides that leave the mole without food. The imperial hazel grouse has an unpleasant smell for animals. Onions, garlic, dill, celery, and basil also have an aroma that moles do not like.
