I have moles all over my yard, but I have molechasersa in my garden, and no moles, voles, or groundhogs/woodchucks either ~ the sound really seems to bother tham and works real well. Also, there has NEVER been a mole in my herb garden...hmmm...not sure what of the herbs they don't like, but they never seem to get in there, ever.<br><br><br>The windmill molechasers are also pretty to look at :-)<br><br><br>valvgauthiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-6943594104259431012009-07-07T10:02:23.000-07:002009-07-07T10:02:23.000-07:00Hi there, I always enjoy your blog when I visit. ...Hi there, I always enjoy your blog when I visit.

In her last decade or so, she took to stuffing newspaper down the mole holes, then pouring gasoline in to soak them, and then lighting them on fire! We were always afraid she'd get injured, but she never did. <br><br><br>I think your potential solutions sound much safer!Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-15975793059053833282009-07-08T02:54:57.000-07:002009-07-08T02:54:57.000-07:00We had moles all over where the raised garden had ...We had moles all over where the raised garden had to go so we put down chicken wire and MoleMax (ground castor bean) before filling the boxes and so far it's no moles even though round 2 has started in the rest of the yard.
