Repellex 10505 1-Quart RTS Mole, Vole and Gopher Repellent

This stuff is amazing but I did learn that you can't just use it once. I saturated my lawn with it in May and the moles disappeared within 2 days. They definitely do not like the taste of worms coated with castor oil. This week (Oct 1st) I noticed a new mole hill. I realized it had been 3 months since I sprayed so immediately ran out and saturated my lawn with another bottle of this stuff. The next morning the mole had made two more mounds toward the perimeter of the lawn and then across the garden area. YES!! Do learn how it works. It does not poison the mole and pouring it into it's hole is not going to help. Here is how it works.REPEL MOLES WITH REPELLEX® MOLE REPELLENT – At the MU Turf Day in 2010 we learned that castor oil is a bona fide repellent of moles (and voles!). For you soft-hearted folks, who can’t bear the thought of “whack a mole” this is a kinder, gentler option. Repellex® Mole, Vole and Gopher Repellent repels moles and voles by getting absorbed into the soil quickly to dis-flavor food sources. We carry two types of Repellex for moles, dry, spreadable granules (7 lbs for 7,000 sq ft of coverage) and a 32 oz hose-end sprayer (for 8,000 sq ft of coverage). During normal weather conditions this product can last for up to 60 days and offer protection from moles, voles and gophers. The active ingredients include castor oil, pepper and garlic oils, and unique emulsifying agents allow product to penetrate the soil quickly and effectively; up to 60 days of coverage is stated on the label, but here in St. Louis, that’s probably pushing it. Water 1-2 times after application to active the ingredients. For the granular product use 1 lb of granules per 1,000 sq ft of turf. For the 32 oz ready-to-spray (RTS) hose-end sprayer, you can cover up to 8,000 sq ft of turf. Methods 1 to 3 all require some intelligence, persistence and effort on your part…you’ve got to identify the active runways. The repellents simply discourage moles by making the earthworms taste nasty, which tends to drive the moles into your NEIGHBOR’S lawn!

Worked well! Thx

Stinks but works. moles are gone

I ordered a quart of this prior to the shipment of four more quarts. That first quart did not go very far. I used it in my mother's front yard where moles were very active. I knocked down and raked flat all of the mole hills prior to the first application. Three days after that application, I went back over there and checked and found that there were no new mole hills. FedEx delivered the second shipment, today. I came home from my deer camp to find the package on my front porch, leaking. About one third of one of the quart bottles had leaked out of the bottle. Because of its repugnant smell, I could not take it into my garage but put in the bed of my pickup truck. I have never had a problem with rough handling whenever UPS makes a delivery. And I am not entirely sure that the leakage was the fault of FedEx. The package had the inflated packing tubes in it to keep the four quarts from sliding around, but there was no packaging between the bottles and the bottom and top of the cardboard box. The loss of the product is why I am not giving four or five stars in my review. Pictures are available if you need them.

Well it was easy for me to apply, but equally easy for the mole to ignore. As much as I wanted a humane way to drive the mole off it took traps to take care of the issue, next time I’ll skip the extra cost and do it the right way to start.

This bottle hooks directly on to your garden hose so you can easily spray your yard. That means not having to mix product, worry about dilution ratios, or hurting your hand pumping a sprayer. Very convenient! I could smell the product during application but it’s not like it lingered in the air when I went back out later.I used this product to rid my yard of voles. During application, I watched a vole run out of his hole and scamper off. He clearly didn’t like the smell. I like that this is a humane product - it simply drives away the pests rather than trapping or poisoning them. Plus then I don’t have to deal with dead voles laying around my yard!

After the first application the mole tunnels were gone. I was amazed it worked so well. One bottle is supposed to cover 4000sqft but it took quite a bit more than that as it dispenses very quickly. This makes it a bit costly to use. However, moles are very hard to get rid of, and many products don't work at all so I will definitely continue to use this throughout the summer and fall. It has an odor but it's not unpleasant and dissipates once watered in and dry. I would recommend this product.

This product seemed to make our voles scramble around a bit for the first few days but ultimately didn't seem to repel our voles. We have a severe vole infestation in our yard. Our home is at 10000 ft in the Rocky Mountains. After this product I sprayed 2 gallons of castor oil on the yard using the soap attachment on an electric pressure washer. It is too early to tell if the castor oil worked, there are a lot of differing opinions about how castor oil is supposed to effect voles, but we have still seen some around so for the winter we are moving on to traps and poison. Best of luck to you in getting rid of your vole population, it is a long and difficult process.
