In March, a mole in the garden starts to become a real nuisance. As the earth warms and the earthworms and larvae move, often migrating higher and higher in the soil, he follows them. As a result, they are dug up, the seedlings are damaged, and the lawn is covered with mounds that make the ground look like a carpet with holes in it.
If you do not want this “pest” to ruin your plot, when rebuilding the tunnel system after winter, plant plants that repel it as soon as possible. This is a natural, home way to get rid of the problem without harming it, because, as we know, it is partially protected.
Are you fed up with moles destroying your garden? You don’t have to use drastic methods to get rid of them right away. All you need is a little cleverness and he won’t destroy your flower beds anymore. A simple and ecological trick will effectively discourage them from digging tunnels near your crops. Place a piece of garlic or onion in the mound.
Moles cannot stand the intense smell of these plants. They have a very sensitive sense of smell, so they will avoid places where they smell it. So put some cloves in there or a piece of onion in a hole and lightly cover it with soil so it can spread throughout the underground system. However, remember to do it regularly, because the “pest” may move to another place.
In addition, you can also use sticky and thick tar, which smells spicy and intense, and its scent remains in the substrate for a long time. So we can jokingly say that it is a natural mole repellent. Soak a piece of cloth in it and throw it into an underground corridor where moles roam. You can also mix tar with water and spray the area around the mounds.
You can also plant it in the garden which moles don’t like. One of them are marigoldsthe smell of which does not bother humans, but animals do. It also discourages others.
The imperial chessboard can also be your ally in the fight against moles. The showy, colorful plant is often planted near flower beds and borders because it gives off an aroma that is simply unpleasant for many of the species that harm it.
