What Customers Are Saying
Most customers report the product successfully deters moles and voles, with many noting moles disappeared and tunnels stopped spreading. Reviewers consistently praise its ease of use, natural castor oil formula, and safety for pets and plants. However, a notable minority found it ineffective or experienced increased mole activity after application. Some customers mention coverage concerns, suggesting the stated square footage may be overstated. Despite mixed results, most consider it worth trying for pest control.

Would RecommendSpray bottles don’t work ever. I had to pour it into my hose end sprayer for application. It does seem to work once you figure out a way of apply it. It’s really thick so I cut it with a little water.

Good results so far
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had a mole problem for a while. This product was easy to use and apply. I haven't found or seen any new action since I applied it so I think that maybe they have vacated. It's still a recent application so I'm curious to see how the long-term effects will be. But so far so good!

Love this is pet and child safe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a large 3 acre property that has tons of wildlife. Our back yard by the pool shed is filled with mole holes that prevent the kids from playing in that area due to injury risk. The weather is starting to warm up and I see this issue now getting worse so this came at a great time! What appealed me is the safe for use with pets and kids! Says a lot about what is in the product and how the company views safety! There is no harsh odor it wa...

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. This product was easy to use. It was as easy as turning, twisting and turning on! When you connect the bottle to the spray hose it works flawlessly and does not use a whole lot of the product. I would recommend it to anyone who has animal issues. It’s been 3 days and no signs of wild life in our yard.

Keeps moles away
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product to help keep moles, voles, and other creatures away from my garden beds and my front lawn. I was really tired of all the mole tunnels near my front lawn area and my garden bed. Moles like eating flower bulbs, and they will destroy Tulips. I use this product, and it really keeps them away. Read the instructions and follow them as it says. The container will cover up to 10,000 Sq ft. Great product that I am pleased with.

Holy mole!

Repellent spray
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited when I was offered to try this product, and of course naturally thinking this wasn't going to work. However, I was shocked when I learned how well and how quickly this stuff works!

Seems to work
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have lots of holes in my backyard from what I believe to be moles or voles. I sprayed this and it seems like it isn’t as bad as usual. I did receive this product free in exchange for my honest review. I am surprised it has worked!

Easy to spray
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After building last year we found a lot of evidence of moles in the back yard. I just sprayed this and it was very easy to attach and spray around the yard. The bottle is supposed to cover 10,000 square feet. I have more than enough to cover the area in need. It doesn’t list it, but I’m really hoping it helps repel skunks also.

Goodbye Squirrels and Rabbits 😠🌱
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have such a tough time with animals in my garden. Like to the point where I cry when I walk out and see all of my plants I’ve been nurturing and taking care since seedlings are just suddenly gone (simply as lunch for a wild animal). I am such an avid animal lover, but there comes a point where I have to put myself and my family first for the food I am growing! ❤️ This is a repellent — the animals won’t want to come near because of the smell —...

Excited
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a little too cold yet to use this on the yard but we have had a mole/vole problem for a while. So I’m excited to give this a try this year and hopefully get rid of all the holes.
