The remarkable properties of garlic make it a versatile natural repellent against various pests and animals. It can be combined with hot peppers to create an all-natural spray for plant protection, used to deter deer, and even employed in the battle against ground moles.
The pungent and distinctive odor of garlic has long been recognized as a deterrent for ground moles. When grown in gardens, it seems to be the one crop that ground moles avoid at all costs. However, you don’t necessarily need to cultivate garlic to benefit from its mole-repelling qualities.
Instead, place a few crushed garlic cloves in the openings and tunnels created by ground moles. This action usually compels them to seek new territory. The garlic trick can be effective, but it requires persistence and consistency in locating the holes and placing the cloves inside.
To enhance its effectiveness, you can create a spray by heating 10 cloves of garlic in 1/2 gallon of water and then applying the mixture by spraying or saturating the hole entrances.
Cheers to naturally eliminating ground moles and safeguarding your lawn and landscape this year!
Organic D.E. – Stop Ground Moles
Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) is composed of crushed remains of tiny fossils, such as algae and plankton. On a microscopic scale, it possesses sharp edges that cause minuscule cuts on insects and smaller pests. (Product Link: Diatomaceous Earth)
When using food-grade D.E., which is 100% organic, you can rest assured that it is safe to apply around wildlife, pets, and humans. However, if you have sensitivity to particulates, it is advisable to wear a mask or respirator while using D.E.
Sprinkle the powder around the entrances of mole tunnels and in areas where you suspect moles might be residing. The moles will instinctively avoid crossing through the D.E. and will redirect their tunneling elsewhere. It’s important to note that the effectiveness of D.E. can be diminished when applied just after rains or during mornings with heavy dew. Therefore, it is recommended to reapply the powder after heavy rainfall for sustained results.
