How to choose?

There are a large number of ultrasonic mole repellers on the market. They work effectively, but you need to understand how they work and how to choose the right device. The device must be installed deep enough in the ground so that it does not fall out. Then the signal will be good. The cap must be installed above the ground so that it does not flood during rain.

You need to insert batteries or rechargeable batteries into the repeller. The average operating time is about 3 months; in the future, you need to charge the battery or change the battery. You can also buy a solar-powered device.

Expert opinion

Torsunov Pavel Maksimovich

If you choose a solar-powered model, you need to make sure that the sun is bright enough. The operating time on a full charge is only 48 hours. However, there is no need to think about when to change the battery; the device operates efficiently and does not require monitoring.

In winter, the repeller must be removed from the ground. The first effect can be seen after 2 - 3 weeks; at first the moles can continue to dig the ground.

Does your garden need protection from moles?

Very! Not really

Here's what you need to pay attention to when choosing a device:

• Radius of action . Usually it is about 400 meters, but if it is longer, it is good. The farther from the epicenter, the weaker the signal, so moles can continue to dig in the ground on the outskirts of the repeller's action.
• Impact on domestic animals . It is necessary to read the instructions to understand how dangerous it is for them. It is harmless to humans, since our hearing organs do not perceive ultrasonic signals.
• Availability of solar panels or powered by batteries and accumulators . The first models are the most popular among consumers.
• Water protection level . It may be protected against splashes or large amounts of water. The latter is relevant during prolonged and heavy rains.

These are the main nuances that you need to pay attention to. In this case, it is possible to create a device with your own hands, but its efficiency will be lower, since it will be difficult to achieve good ultrasonic coverage.

The work is that ultrasound propagates from the device over a certain distance. The moles hear it, it makes them uncomfortable, so they leave the area. It is worth noting that the product also repels snakes, mice, shrews and other pests that respond to ultrasound.

Rating of the best mole repellents and repellents

Types of repellers

Many devices operate in several modes. Provide the user with the ability to manually or automatically select the frequency of sound or vibration waves. The efficiency of the device depends on the power and other technical parameters.

8 best DIY mole repellers

Types of repellers:

1. Mechanical.
2. Electrical.
3. Ultrasonic.

The approximate period for expelling moles after installing the device is one and a half months. There is a possibility that after the device is turned off, the digging animals will return to the site. In this case, traditional poison traps are used.

Repelling moles is a relatively ineffective way to expel them from a cultivated area. Animals often adapt to infrasonic or other generated radiation. If there is a busy highway near the site, animals get used to constant noise and vibrations. They stop responding to the effects of waves.

Mechanical repellers

The basis of the design of such devices is a disk eccentric. The mechanism produces special oscillatory pulses. Resonance of the desired frequency occurs due to the displacement of the disk relative to the central axis of the shaft. Some models are equipped with an electromechanical vibration element. They create a double burden on digging animals.

Electrical devices

Such devices generate electromagnetic pulses, to which moles are sensitive. Devices of this type are powered by a solar panel or built-in battery. Modern repellers have a nice design. Fighting moles with electricity gives good results.

Ultrasonic devices

Such devices operate thanks to a special built-in emitter. The wave propagation range depends on several factors and reaches 50 meters. The devices do not interfere with pets, but become an insurmountable barrier for digging animals.
