Relocates moles; make sure they have somewhere to go

Relocates moles; make sure they have somewhere to go
Product works. It makes them move elsewhere but doesn't kill them. If your neighbors are using the same approach, or you are bounded by the street, it's not going to help alone.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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nuked my voles out of my yard!
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2024
We live just across the road from farm fields; and to our other side - our village of 2000 pop. Voles annually have been invading my under-deck and mulch piles each winter, and messing up my back lawn.

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).
