Bonide MOLEMAX Mole & Vole Repellent Granules, 10 lbs. Ready-to-Use, Outdoor Lawn & Garden Mole Control, People & Pet Safe

Mole traps didn’t work for me. This stuff works so good, I do have to keep applying at least every 2 months religiously or I’ll go from no mole hills to 20 in a few days time.

Product works. It makes them move elsewhere but doesn't kill them. If your neighbors are using the same approach, or you are bounded by the street, it's not going to help alone.I used it previously as instructed and they left for 2 months. They arrived a few weeks ago with their cousins so I reordered. My corner lot has two streets and the driveway bordering, so they can only go out one direction. Neighbor's house is a vacation home, and their yard isn't kept up - it's full of weeds and critters. We have a big dune between our house too, so that is the direction I was pushing them.I applied the first bag heavy for 1/2 the yard, pushing away from house to street. My plan was to leave a 4-6 foot corridor for them to move to. If you surround the entire yard, they have nowhere to go and just stay. The next day I did the second bag, starting about halfway and working toward the street. I left the corridor as planned, again, because they cant run away under the street or driveway. I also added a 5# bag of cayenne pepper to the spreader.Stupid me. I should have had a 3rd bag to put over the corridor later, but I thought I'd see how it went. I then went out of town for 10 days. When I came back, the corridor I left was destroyed with mole holes. They just all moved into that area and I think I saw a taco bar in one hole.It became war. I ordered the Tom Cat mole killer earthworm gummies, poked holes with my finger, found the chunnels, and dropped in 10, waited a day, found the new runs the next day, dropped the other 10, and "got rid" of 80% of the activity.I then looked at molemax ingredients and found that the key ingredient is, basically, solidified castor oil. I got some 2 gallon spray castor oil mole repellent, mixed with dish soap per instructions, and repeated the process, applying with a 2 gallon hand sprayer (with 2 gallons of water). I drove them to the street again. I waited 2 days, found the active tunnels, added TomCat worms. Next day, reapplied the castor oil mix all the way to the street. 4 days later, only one or two active tunnels or pop ups. I TomCatted again and got rid of them. Dead.So, MoleMax works as intended, but make sure to follow the instructions that say it takes 3 applications as you evict them elsewhere. The castor oil liquid mole solution is much cheaper, but more of a pain to apply and messy, and you have to add dish soap (which I didn't know), which raises the cost back to Molemax price. Just go with Molemax and a yard spreader. But, since pushing them to your neighbors is somewhat immoral, and they can be pushed right back, I say push them away, watch to see where they are moving, and send them much deeper to hell with the TomCat mole killer.You can see in the photos where they all arrived in my corridor and ransacked the place high on cayenne.

I ordered this product as a last resort. I firt tried with worms and the mohl pushed them back out of the holes.then . I bought this 10 pound bag and was amazed that they were gone after only applying 3 times what I did was, I waited until it was gonna rain. I put the granular down and then it rained and was soaked it into the ground. Next thing I knew they were gone. I would highly recommend this product for anybody who has a mohs problem If those creatures ever come back again they’ll get zapped again. Wonderful product

I have tried all kinds of traps and poisons for gophers. I decided to try this despite little available research-based evidence that it works. It definitely does not work well in a localized application to protect a tree/plants, but it might work a little to deter from a bigger area.Evidence: I wanted to protect the roots of a young citrus tree that a gopher was interested in. I spread this heavier than recommended in a 6 ft radius around the tree. Watered it in as instructed. The gopher was back with new tunnels and mounds right where this stuff was the very next night! I then put this stuff directly in soil that I used to plug the main tunnel about 2 ft long, also as directed. The next morning the gopher had re-excavated directly through the heavily laced main tunnel!I then spread the rest of the bag using a spreader across a larger area of adjacent grass that also had gopher activity. This area measured about 20' X 60'. I laid it down heavier than recommended. to give it the best chance of working. We could smell it during the evening in the yard. With this bigger application the gophers seemed to have been annoyed and moved away from that area to an adjacent untreated area as intended. Hard to know if that was coincidence or the product worked better when used across a bigger area.It seems a determined gopher will just ignore this in a local space that they like, but they might be annoyed enough by it in a bigger space to move to another space.

This DOES NOT WORK! I purchased one bag the beginning of July and applied it in my Courtyard hoping it would drive the moles out. Then purchased this bag to apply in the front yard. Waited to see if I had good results with the first bag...DID NOT. Returning this purchase and really wish that I could return what I have left in my first bag but seller does not offer a money back guarantee. Please SAVE YOUR MONEY, this does not do ANYTHING! I would give it zero stars if I could!

I bought Molemax to repel moles from the plants we were putting in our perennial bedsApplication was easy: I used the granules and followed the instructions. It has a strong smell, but it fades quickly and doesn't bother us after a day or so.Results: It prevented the moles from eating any of our plants, and we have since ordered many bags, as Amazonem is the cheapest place to buy it.Pros:Easy to applySafe for pets and kidsCons:Smell is strong at firstWon’t kill moles — just drives them away (which may just be into your neighbor’s yard)Bottom line: If you’re looking for a non-lethal way to deal with moles and voles, Molemax is worth a try. Just follow the directions
