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

I don't know if the gophers are getting accustomed to this product, but this year the gophers multiply. At least they are not killing the roots of my fruit trees and the product is friendly to my dogs.

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.

So I bought two bags which is enough to cover my yard twice with how much they recommend spreading. I also combined it with the yard stakes that emit vibrations to detour the moles. Well it’s like the moles are mad that I used those products because I have noticed no reduction in tunnels. In fact I have even more now. Thanks Molemax!! 👍🏻 And congrats! You got my money.

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.

Work extremely well with bait worms

I spent around $100 on 4 bags. It did not work in spite of watching videos and reading about the best way and time to apply. To be fair, we have an alarming vole infestation. We had seen one and caught it in a trap. We were about to move out of our home at the time and make the property a rental. While moving, it went from 1 seen and caught with NO burrow holes/mounds... to HUNDREDS of voles with countless mounds and tunnels all over our property within a 4 week period. We had moved everything and had not been there for a few weeks. I went back to meet with the tenant 4 weeks after we caught the single vole. We have sandy soil in the mountains with a lot of wild grasses and wildflowers. We have gravel around the house/patio areas and even those areas were devastated in spite of the lack of plants growing there.After 2 applications of 2 bags, 1 week apart (on damp soil w some light rain between and after treatments we saw no improvement. We had used 20+ smoke bombs manufactured just for that purpose. He had also sprayed a liquid version of vole repellent last fall. My husband also attached a hose to the exhaust of his old plow truck and ran that into the tunnels to drive them away (a video he saw online gave him that idea). None of the efforts worked.Due to the devastation of our yard from the voles and danger of stepping in a hole and twisting an ankle or worse...we hired someone to regrade the sections of our yard that could be reached with a small grader and flatten it out. Away from the house, in a rocky area that cannot be graded due to enormous stones/pitch, etc. (mountains) countless voles were seen running out of the tunnels while the ground was being graded.Unfortunately, the only thing that is working for us is regrading and compacting the ground in any areas we can reach with heavy equipment on the property. We cannot reach all areas, so I'm certain this will be a continual, and costly process.We are not using poison since the wild animals such as fox, etc. eat voles and we don't want to poison wildlife or pets.If anyone has a good solution not listed above, please let me know! I am assuming that if you are reading this, you have voles. Good luck and try to catch them as early as possible because they reproduce quickly and in large numbers.

I had voles and groundhogs in my yard and the voles definitely packed up and left town. There’s no sign of the vole holes in my yard anymore. The groundhogs are also gone and I have been trying to get rid of them for years.
