How Do You Get Rid Of Moles In A Garden Using Natural Methods?
Moles are a bane to any gardener. The small, rodent-like animals live underground and travel in tunnels, tearing up the soil, eating roots and generally wreaking havoc on garden areas. It’s difficult, but not impossible, to get rid of the pesky critters. Natural methods can work. Here are some solutions to try. Combine 2 tablespoons of castor oil, 2 tablespoons of liquid dish detergent and 1 gallon of warm water. Mix well. Pour into a watering can or sprayer. Stirring constantly, sprinkle the mixture on and around the area where moles have tunneled or caused damage. Apply on dry vegetation. In the event of rain, reapply again after 2 days. Plant unpeeled garlic cloves at the ends of each row, the corners of the garden area, and evenly spaced throughout the rows and sides of the garden. Push the fat end of the garlic clove into the ground just until it is completely covered. When the garlic blooms, harvest the garlic for fresh garlic cloves and replace it with another garlic clove.
