The Big Cheese Hi-Vis Mega-Sonic Solar Mole Repeller Spike. Solar Powered Weather-Resistant Mole Deterrent for Continuous Protection of Lawn and Garden Areas, Orange

We have a large lawn, measuring approx. 50 metres by 15 metres. Until three years ago we were constantly plagued with moles, often waking up in the morning to find 20 or 30 hills scattered around the garden. We purchased one of these after several other attempts to repel the creatures had completely failed. The first unit was planted in the centre of the lawn at one end where the mole activity was the worst. Within two days we saw no more hills at that end of the garden. Delighted, we purchased a second identical unit and placed this at the other end. Since then we have seen only one, small, mole hill in the entire garden. In three years. Could this be a coincidence? I don't think so. This device has worked for us, and very well indeed. The two units are now located at the far edge of the garden in the border flower beds (out of the way of the lawn mower, obviously!!), buzzing away and maintenance free.

Used as directed. Can confirm it does not work. They stopped during the cold spell and now the mole hills are appearing again - sometimes next to where the trap is. Don't waste your money.Now I'm going to try a humane trap that doesn't kill them. I have nothing against moles - just making a mess of the garden; I prefer to do that myself....

This is an excellent product that works a treat at keeping pesky moles out of our garden. We live in a rural area and moles are prevalent in the fields and several years ago we had a new lawn laid but withing weeks it was wrecked by moles. We tried other suggested methods to get rid of them but nothing worked until we purchased one of these spikes. Within days the moles had left our garden! The spike lasted a few years before we had to replace it. Well worth the money!additonal October 2017 --- think we must have got a deaf mole because we now have 3 similar scarers in a small lawned area and the mole is not going away :(

Worked ?? But did not last ,,6 months and that’s it , won’t charge and started to let water in , they look good and well built BUT they are not , rubbish .

If it’s grey and days are short there’s insufficient power to keep it going at night. So the moles dig then!

This has been very difficult to review, as its effectiveness seems to have varied a great deal over time.First impressions were positive - easy to put in place, and through long summer and shorter winter days the solar panel has kept it buzzing every few minutes.It was purchased to persuade a mole in a small area of lawn to head back to the neighbouring field it seemed to have arrived from...having raised over a dozen mole hills it had made quite a mess. At first this seemed to do the job - buzzing away and no more mole hills. Then, a few weeks later, and despite still buzzing the mole (or moles) was back with a vengeance....Cut forward a few weeks and the mole has moved to another small lawn, leaving the one with the mole spike alone...So how can I sum this up? This is not a guaranteed solution to moles. It does though seem to have some success at times; my best guess this is largely down to the weather and how wet or dry the ground is and in turn how effective the pulses this sends out at deterring the moles. If you are looking at only a non lethal solution it may be worth a try, but the conventional traps are likely to be the more effective solution if moles are a real problem for your garden.

I would like to warn anybody thinking of purchasing this device to stop and read my advice. Not only did the device fail to get rid of the mole but the sonic vibrations seemed to attract the mole. After just two days this product had become some sort of idol to the moles and they made lots of little mole hills in the shape of an Inverted Pentagram with their vibrating idol in the centre.This device had escalated what was a single mole annoyance into a cult of moles with sinister intentions. Thankfully I did find a solution on the interweb and it worked perfectly.All you need is a high pressure hose, tennis racket and tube of Vaseline. Simply insert the hose into the most recent mole hole and turn the water on. This forces the mole to ejaculate from one of its pesky holes and shoot a few feet into the air.At this point you swing at it with the tennis racket and try to knock it into your neighbour’s garden. I made the fundamental error telling my neighbour about my intentions and to my disappointment he was ready and waiting with his own tennis racket. After about 90 seconds of mole tennis I got distracted by my camel mosaic and my neighbour produced a stunning backhander to return the mole to its lost idol.I was lucky as my other neighbour is a very old lady and I managed to take her down in just two sets. The Vaseline was used as a celebratory lubricant.

Purchased to replace one which was very old and no longer effective.
