Managing Garden Moles: Keep Your Plants Safe 🦔
Moles can disrupt your garden by tunneling through the soil. Here’s how to manage them:
1. Traps: Set up mole traps in active tunnels to catch and remove them.
2. Repellents: Use commercial or homemade repellents like castor oil granules.
3. Barrier Methods: Install underground barriers to prevent moles from entering garden beds.
4. Vibrating Devices: Place vibrating devices in the ground to deter moles.
5. Natural Predators: Encourage predators like owls and snakes to visit your garden.
Tips:
- Regularly inspect your garden for mole activity and take action promptly.
- Avoid overwatering, which can attract moles by encouraging earthworms.
- Use raised beds to protect vulnerable plants from mole damage.
