There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I used it previously as instructed and they left for 2 months. They arrived a few weeks ago with their cousins so I reordered. My corner lot has two streets and the driveway bordering, so they can only go out one direction. Neighbor's house is a vacation home, and their yard isn't kept up - it's full of weeds and critters. We have a big dune between our house too, so that is the direction I was pushing them.
I applied the first bag heavy for 1/2 the yard, pushing away from house to street. My plan was to leave a 4-6 foot corridor for them to move to. If you surround the entire yard, they have nowhere to go and just stay. The next day I did the second bag, starting about halfway and working toward the street. I left the corridor as planned, again, because they cant run away under the street or driveway. I also added a 5# bag of cayenne pepper to the spreader.
Stupid me. I should have had a 3rd bag to put over the corridor later, but I thought I'd see how it went. I then went out of town for 10 days. When I came back, the corridor I left was destroyed with mole holes. They just all moved into that area and I think I saw a taco bar in one hole.
It became war. I ordered the Tom Cat mole killer earthworm gummies, poked holes with my finger, found the chunnels, and dropped in 10, waited a day, found the new runs the next day, dropped the other 10, and "got rid" of 80% of the activity.
I then looked at molemax ingredients and found that the key ingredient is, basically, solidified castor oil. I got some 2 gallon spray castor oil mole repellent, mixed with dish soap per instructions, and repeated the process, applying with a 2 gallon hand sprayer (with 2 gallons of water). I drove them to the street again. I waited 2 days, found the active tunnels, added TomCat worms. Next day, reapplied the castor oil mix all the way to the street. 4 days later, only one or two active tunnels or pop ups. I TomCatted again and got rid of them. Dead.
So, MoleMax works as intended, but make sure to follow the instructions that say it takes 3 applications as you evict them elsewhere. The castor oil liquid mole solution is much cheaper, but more of a pain to apply and messy, and you have to add dish soap (which I didn't know), which raises the cost back to Molemax price. Just go with Molemax and a yard spreader. But, since pushing them to your neighbors is somewhat immoral, and they can be pushed right back, I say push them away, watch to see where they are moving, and send them much deeper to hell with the TomCat mole killer.
You can see in the photos where they all arrived in my corridor and ransacked the place high on cayenne.

Year one: nuked the back yard with this stuff. No more more dig up grass, but one at least moved to the front yard.
Year 2: nuked both. No trails in the spring.
Year 3: same as year 2, but also tossed some into the bottom mix of my 3x3’ mulch bins. (See photo). Now when I’m circulating my mulch throughout the year-no signs of the critters. Not even seeing signs in my neighbors yards (thinking they headed back to the fields).

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.
