Would RecommendWorks good, works quick when applied as directed; just doesn’t last long.
Didn't Work
Would Not RecommendI was really hoping this product would work as I don't want to kill the moles. Seemed to reduce activity for a few days, but mole(s) soon returned. On to plan B.

This product works by slowly driving burrowing animals away in stages. Avoid treating the entire lawn in one application – this may cause moles to tu...
No bueno, no good, no good in any other language
Would Not RecommendI used this stuff in the area of our lawn ended up using six bags of it and still getting the moles in the same place. We followed all directions on the bag. Will never buy this stuff again it does not work. Just a waist of money
Before applying the caster oil granules in the yard, we recommend locating the active mole areas to determine which way to move the moles out of the ...
Mole and Gopher Repellant
Would Not RecommendI had high hopes after talking to an employee at Lowe's who used it successfully. I applied it as directed and went back for another bag, but the gophers still keep digging holes. Very disappointed. Also used their poison. Now I will use traps.
We apologize that the desired results were not seen when using this product and would like to learn more.

Mole Repelant
Would Not RecommendI really did not see much of any movement of the mole because of the use of this product. I will probably stick to Gempler's product.
We apologize for this experience and would like the opportunity to learn more about how the application was made. Please contact our Consumer Relati...
Gets the moles moving....
Would RecommendI tried the spike trap, and the vibration rod. None of those did anything. I figured lets try this product to see if it would do anything. I treated along the driveway and around the foundation of the house which is where most of the tunnels were located. When I cut the yard again i noticed that this stuff gets the moles moving. Finally something that will get these things movning. Now i will buy more bags since I know it will work.
applied twice and it appears to be effective
Would Recommendeasy to put down but remember to apply to one area at a time and then water in before moving on to the next application
Save Your Money
Would Not RecommendBought 2 bags and spread according to instructions. I should have just gone out and threw $20 onto my lawn. Same result.
Don't waste your money
Would Not RecommendThis stuff just paves the trails for better traction, it doesn't repel voles at all. I finally got good results with a mouse trap, baited with peanut butter. Tomcat in the hose end applicator works in warm weather but my outside water is shut off for the freezing weather so, I can't apply it. Actually -5 stars
Worthless!
Would Not RecommendAbsolutely does NOT work!!! I purchased four bags and followed the instructions exactly. There are more mole trails in my yard now than before I applied the product! Extremely frustrating and upsetting!!
Thank you for sharing this valuable feedback. We apologize that the desired results were not seen when using this product and would like the opportun...
Didn't work on less than 60 square feet!
Would Not RecommendI have a tiny "yard" less than 60 square feet surrounded by concrete. I used the entire bag over the course of 3 days and he has not budged at all. Waste of money. Attached is the space pre mole.
When placing this repellent in the soil and watering it in, it will take a few days or weeks for the moles or gophers to be driven out. If the area i...
Doesn't work
Would Not RecommendI applied entire bag as suggested then watered...no outcome. Moles are still there and breeding..
gets rid of them but not forever
Would RecommendThis and the liquid bottle that attaches to the hose have some type of soybean or castor oil and when it seeps into the soil the moles and voles hate the feeling on their hair so they move to an untreated area. They will turn up outside of the area that has been treated and return in about 3 months depending on the weather. I usually buy three bags, first one goes in front yard, takes about a week for them to move to the back yard, second bag chases them to neighbors yard or even further into ba...
Great product if used correctly
Would RecommendGophers have to be controlled slowly, it's constant work to keep them in check. I have a wood frame home that sits above the ground about 2 ft. I had a gopher get under the house and made a heck of a mess. I was in trouble. I got under the house and put the repellent on the ground and wet it well. The gopher moved to the yard where I was able to use a trap to get him for good. Now I use the repellent monthly to keep them away from the house. Constant management keeps you gopher free and it's ine...

Complete Waste of Money
Would Not RecommendThis product is great if you are looking for a temporary solution to a fairly permanent and incredibly destructive problem. I live on the country and have already wasted more than $30 on this product in LESS THAN 2 weeks!!!!! My property is not huge by any stretch of the imagination, so I think it is absolutely ridiculous that I have spent this much money on a product that claims to work, but doesn't. I have lost 12 sunflowers, 6 tomato plants, 6 pole bean plants, AND 5 pepper plants. I seem to ...
Not Impressed...at all
Would Not RecommendI did not make ANY progress with this product. The gophers are still running the yard!
