P3 International Vibrasonic Molechaser P7906

Edit April 2020 - Changing to 5 stars, no sign of any moles since I installed it.---Original review from 2016---Thought I'd write a review since there were so many negative reviews... I was looking for a low maintenance humane method of getting rid of moles. Did not want to use poison or traps or castor oil or predator smells. There are not that many other options, decided to give this a try. Before installation, there was daily evidence of moles in my yard (either new holes or extra dirt in existing holes). I have this product for about 15 days now, the first and only mole visit after installation was around the 10 day mark. None after that, but it is too early to tell. But I am convinced enough to buy a second one to put on the other side of the yard where the newer mole appeared on day 10.Given the nature of this type of product, it is something that annoys the moles, it is not an underground star trek style force field generator. It is my theory that newer moles will visit periodically, wonder what this is, before getting annoyed and leaving. The noise is not audible unless you are standing right on top of it.The device itself is a little longer than I thought. You will need a small auger from home depot (about $10) to drill a deep and clean hole, it is not possible to do it otherwise (I tried). After inserting it, make sure you densely pack the surrounding spaces with the soil that was drilled out, I also watered it a bit to ensure that it had full contact with the device.I put 4 stars because I am unsure of the advertised range. Might upgrade it to 5 stars in couple of months if the 2nd installation reduces the mole frequency to once a month or less across my entire lot.

This product seemed like a very good idea. Annoy the moles and/or gophers and chase them away. I read the reviews on here with people saying "no, you didn't wait long enough, etc" and so I figured I would give it a shot. A company wouldn't produce a product that is entirely worthless right? Wrong....I have two of these - the one with the motor inside (the vibrasonic) and also the solid state one (the original one I believe). The vibrasonic one is much louder than the electronic (solid state) model. The electronic one you can hardly hear, but the vibrasonic is so loud that it makes you and your family consider moving out! :-)As far as the moles and/or gophers, it doesn't phase them in the least. I had a mole in my yard for weeks and this did nothing. The mole happily went on about his business - digging up my yard, etc. In fact, I put two of these in my yard (the original version and the vibrasonic version), only about 20 feet apart. Keep in mind, my side yard (where the mole was) is only about 40 feet by 20 feet total, so we aren't talking about a large area. Still, it didn't have any impact on the mole whatsoever. He dug holes right near both of them and contrary to the info from the company, it has nothing to do with them being territorial, etc. They just don't pay any attention to it.I finally gave up on these silly things and bought a traditional mole trap that runs spikes into the side of the mole. In one case, I just waited around until the mole went past in a tunnel near the surface and whacked him in the head with a trowel I had sitting nearby. That made short work of him.When you factor up the cost of these units, plus the cost of expensive D batteries that they go through, you can buy yourself quite a few gopher/mole traps. The metal kind that spring shut work great; I called my dad and he said he has been using them for over 40 years and they never fail. That's good enough for me. Save your money on this product - it just does not work. The only solution is to kill the mole and throw his body into the trash. That works 100% of the time.

I've used these for over five years in two different yards and have had excellent results. But they only work if they are installed exactly as James (another reviewer) says in his comments. The biggest mistake I've come across with those who say they don't work is that they are not installed in FULL contact with the earth and not compacted. It is imperative to not disturb the earth/soil around it any more than necessary. For instance, don't dig a hole because it loosens the earth and you can't pack it back as densely as what was there. I've tried several ways to install them but I found the best is to use a piece of PVC pipe (any pipe for that matter) and drive it into the ground to make a pilot hole being careful not to disturb the surrounding soil any more than necessary. Preferably the pipe should be slightly smaller in diameter than the mole chaser but no bigger than necessary. Depending on the soil, sometimes the pipe will pull the plug of earth out with it. The instructions say not to drive the mole chaser into the ground but you can carefully drive these into a pilot hole as long as you're not driving it in with a sledge hammer and not hitting the top directly. I used a regular hammer and piece of wood to tap it into the hole. Having some resistance putting it in ensures the soil is still densely packed. After it's installed, use the hammer to compact the earth around it.And as another reviewer stated, your neighbors may not be impressed since the moles that are escaping your yard are going next door.

Have tried many, and this one is the best one i have found. I put in the ground in the spring and take out in the fall. No issues since getting it. Batteries last the whole summer.Update:2021, Still using this device and still kicking. If i leave it in the winter, a bit hard to find in spring, and notice moles, but as soon as i put in the ground, moles are gone in a few days. Grass Greener and healthier than ever!!

Super Sonic Vibrating MolechaserDieser Molechaser hat einen kleinen Elektromotor als Antrieb und erzeugt damit mechanische Geräuschintervalle. Er klopft mechnisch, diese Methode ist sehr effektiv und vertreibt Wühlmäuse etc. weitaus erfolgreicher als die sonst üblichen Molechaser mit einem kleinen Sonicmodul.

Defekt nach 1. Einsatz

Didn't work and it's been 3 weeks. The mole even circled around it loosening up the soil. It hasn't deterred it one bit. It's also hard to put into the ground.

Der Maulwurf scheint sich an das Geräusch zu gewöhnen, er gräbt weiterhin , auch direkt am Gerät.
