About the Sonic Mole Repeller
The Mole Repeller discharges a sonic pulse every 25 seconds into the earth beneath your garden. This sonic pulse repels moles continuously, each unit protecting up to 1,000 square metres.
For Best Results
A sonic pulse from the Mole Repeller radiates out to give a circular coverage.
Ensure that the unit's operating area is clear of underground obstructions such as foundations, garden ponds and tree roots.
Moist clay-like soils are the best conductors or the sonic pulse. Where multiple Mole Repellers are in use, units should be positioned at approximately 30 metre centres.
Allow up to 7 days of constant use to deliver results. Check the unit from time to time to ensure it is working and replace the batteries every 4-6 months or sooner if needed.
If the ground freezes or floods remove the Mole Repeller. Never hammer the unit into hard or frozen ground.
Where livestock or pets are present, or if there is a danger of theft, it may be useful to cover the unit with a large flower pot, inverted and weighted down.
Facts about Moles
- Worms are the mole's major foodstuff and each mole must find around 200 worms a day to survive.
- Moles can produce as many as 15 hills a day, each hilll containing roughly 5 litres of loose soil.
- Males and femailes live apart most of the year, but in breeding season males dig over large areas in search of a mate.
- Moles can create 20 metres of fresh tunnels every day.
Moles are common to mainland Britain, particularly areas of permanent grassland such as private lawns and gardens, gold courses, parks and playing fields.
Moles have a highly developed sense of touch and hearing, even though they have no external ear flaps. Their bodies are cylindrical, 12-16cm long from nose to tails and they weigh 70-110g.
Each mole inhabits its own underground tunnel system covering an area of 400-2,000 square metres. It patrols these tunnels on a regular cycle, searching out food such as earthworms and grubs for a period of 4 hours and then resting for 3 hours. The mole is most active just after sunrise and again just before sunset.
Breeding season is from February to June each year, and litters of young will leave the nest at 5 weeks old.
Moles often damage the roots of seedlings and plants causing them to wilt and die. In addition, mole hills can cause severe damage to machines such as lawn mowers.
