To do this, around the perimeter of the site to a depth of 50 cm, a small metal grid is dug in, so that it protrudes from the ground for 15-20 cm. the Grid will not prevent the movement of worms and small insects, but will not allow moles to penetrate you. You can use slate or roofing material.
Poison bait
Zinc phosphide is widely used as a pesticide for controlling moles. To determine the current progress of the animal, crushed his leg and mark the spot. If the mole restores its course within 1-2 days, it is active. In this case, it is necessary to lower a teaspoon of poisoned bait into the hole and close the hole.

Home traps The most simple and effective method of dealing with moles at home — "jar trap".

Below the level of the current course, a saucepan or a 3-liter jar of water is broken in, which is covered from above. After some time, the mole is on the move, falls into the jar and can't get out.
Electronic mole repellers There are ultrasonic devices designed to deter from the territory of earth pests — moles, mice,voles, hamsters, gophers, rats, earth squirrels. The generated sound vibrations sent by the ultrasonic device force the animals to leave the area protected by the device. However, practice shows that repellents do not always work - moles simply get used and adapt to sound "stimuli".
