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

This is by far the best product I purchased to get rid of moles from digging in the yard. It does help with squirrels but that's not necessarily what I get it for. I love that it's a simple product being only castor oil and binding products, so there's not a lot of heavy chemicals. I have chickens in my yard and they free range. I'm not worried about them when I put this product down. It works really well if you use it as directed. That means you can't do your whole yard all at once because you'll just drive them crazy and they're going to run around nuts ripping up the whole place. Instead, you're supposed to start on one side. I generally recommend starting near concrete or pavement and pushing them back away from that area. You need to water it down into the lawn surface. Applications do not work. It has to seep down. Once you 've done 20-ft sections at a time and push them all the way back, you can just do a perimeter line a few feet wide to keep them from returning. I do this in the spring and fall works great

I am using this to try to protect the tulips I planted in October. I hope it works. It seems to work around the roses.

I had a major problem with voles invading my watermelon patch. I've tried traps but had no luck. Figured I'd give Molemax a try and so far so good. I've driven them out of my watermelon bed and towards the forest on the other side of my property and soon they should have retreated into the forest, I hope. If you don't have rain in the forecast after applying it make sure to water it in. It needs to seep down into the soil to really work well.

I feel like this is so hard to review. I used as directed and I am hearing less scratching. We have a stone foundation and the moles get up into my house between the walls. I have heard them less in the walls. We put this around one side of the house not around the whole house. We didn’t want to trap them inside. It’s just so hard to know if it’s working but I’ll try anything. The bag is really large so you get a lot for the money. Put it down before forecasted rain.

Don’t waste your money. This product does not work. Followed the instructions exactly and moles still active all over the areas that were covered. Really wanted this to work and was hoping it would but very disappointed and would suggest you buy something else.

We used this in our vegetable garden to combat voles. Tried trapping them didnt work,so I read on the internet to try Molemax. This has been a life saver! I depend on my vegetable garden every year to help make ends meet and this really works! My garden looks great,no more holes where my plants should have been!

=== <original post> Product arrived when promised, and in good condition. Pricing was competitive. So far the product seems to be working but the real test is still to come. I have not found any competing products in the granular form that were competitive. The granulal mix is consistent and spreads consistently with a spreader. === spring 2010 Update, I have a couple of years of testing in on this product. I finally am keeping voles "mostly" from destroying the lawn by using this and keeping vole poison in the bad areas. I found this repellent works OK but I needed a lot more than was advertised. You can smell it a little when it is put down and after substantial rain you'll need to apply more. Gets a bit expensive so I found large 10# bags that I now order. Overall, this is a small piece of controlling the voles but don't expect it to completely keep the buggers away by itself. Consider vole poison to assist with infestations. I did buy some vole control poison "tube" kits and they worked but were pretty ugly in the yard. I now use little "huts" to keep the poison dry... === Fall 2011 UPDATE ... OK, so it has been 3 years now. Wow, hard to believe! Anyway, I've had 3 seasons to apply the product in fall, winter and summer conditions. I have quite a problem in the fall and winter and have tried more repellent more often and reapplied after rain. I kept certain areas untreated as a control group for nearly 1 year. Unfortunately I noticed little if any difference between the treated and untreated areas. In summer there might have been a slight benefit but not enough to warrant buying this stuff as it is pricey after shipping. Unfortunately I no longer can recommend the product as after giving it 3 years and probably 350 pounds of the stuff, no discernible relief. I know poison is not everyone's cup of tea but the alternative is to stop by and reseed my lawn 3 times a year...

I’d been dealing with moles for a couple years and tried numerous ways to get rid of them before finding this product. Moles completely disappeared about a week after applying Molemax, and I haven’t seen any more activity in over a month! No more daily mole hills, and the grass has grown back. I’ll be buying this again for sure.

Creemos que si funcionó, y eran tejones que son tremendamente fuertes y aferrados.
