It doesn’t take a mole invasion to get fed up with these animals. Just one individual can make our blood boil. One or two mounds don’t really throw us off balance, but sometimes the pests leave entire paths, destroying a well-kept lawn and even flower beds. What can be done about it?
How to scare away a mole? Take it from the kitchen and apply it to the mound
In gardening stores, you can buy a lot of products that are supposed to help us fight moles. Some of them are simply inhumane, others are expensive, and still others are not always as effective as we would expect. Before we rush to the products from stores, it is worth testing home methods for moles. Many gardeners praise one of them in particular.
Vinegar for moles works as a deterrent. It can even quickly drive some people out of a given room, let alone animals. How to use vinegar for moles? Just mix it with water in a ratio of 1:10 and pour it into the mound immediately. Then cover it with soil. The next day, repeat this action with the next mound. It is important not to flood all molehills at once, to allow the pest to escape from our plot.

Some people test various methods of combat. Among the most popular ones, we find pouring hair combed from a dog or cat into the mounds, as well as their feces. If we are already talking about these not-so-appetizing methods of dealing with moles, it is worth mentioning rotting fish, which can also be buried in the molehill. If we have some leftovers from Friday’s dinner, instead of throwing them into the trash, let’s throw them into the mound.
Many people focus on mole prevention. When arranging a garden, it is worth considering including plants that repel moles. These include marigold, daffodil, castor bean, garlic and basil.
