What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on this mole repellent product. Many praise it as a pet-safe, non-toxic solution, with several reporting complete yard elimination after weeks of use and noting it outperformed castor oil or sprays. However, installation proves challenging—spikes bend or break in hard ground, and some units fail prematurely. A significant portion report continued mole activity despite the device functioning, with tunnels appearing near spikes. Battery life concerns and inconsistent results frustrate users. Overall, while many find it effective, substantial numbers experience failure or durability issues.

Would Not RecommendI bought the spike that had the solar mini-panel on it so that I wouldn't have to spring for batteries. I drove a wooden stake into the ground to make the insertion hole, turned on the spike and slipped it into the ground. It was a slightly snug fit and i had to rotate the spike back and forth in order to get it fully inserted. The spike rotated with little effort. The insertion spot was sunny for about half of the day. A month after insertion, mole tunnels were being made just 20 feet away fr...
Not Impressed so far
Would Not RecommendI bought two. So far after more than a week I am still seeing signs of mole tunnels. One of them has stopped working, probably needs new batteries all ready.

Cheated
Would Not RecommendDoes not work. A day after I’d planted spike two new mole mount appeared, within four days seven new mounts showed up. Would not recommend this mole spike to anyone just wasting your money. If I could I would return item for my money back.

Do not waste your money!
Would Not RecommendI was on the fence because some reviews were good, so I thought we'd give it a try... the moles burrowed right towards it.

Did not even phase them
Would Not RecommendUsed all summer. Did absolutely NOTHING to deter the moles for me. One positive: batteries lasted all summer. But overall cannot recommend.

May work, but very noisy.
Would Not RecommendThis device may work to chase away moles and gophers, but we'll never know... It is very loud and the annoying, grating buzz is way easy to hear from inside the house. Returned the product.

Don't waste your time
Would Not RecommendBig waste of money, one of them bent just putting it in the ground. That was after digging the pilot hole first. Would never buy this product again

Gophers don't care
Would Not RecommendI've had the solar version in the ground for 2 ½ weeks. Moles have been digging within 5-6 ft of it. This morning I watched as a gopher dug a mound within a few ft of it. It doesn't seem to bother them. My dog digs up the hole and the pests just move a few ft farther.
Thank you for your feedback.
Gophers gone!
Would RecommendI have used sprays traps and baits. Trapping being labor intensive and damaging the lawn but for the most part successful. But there have been the extremely hard to catch gophers. I installed the Victor product and they are gone. Great product and an improvement over their previous model.

No more moles!
Would RecommendMole moved into neighbors yard and keeps moving further down the street ever since I installed. Even though this isn't solar powered, I am still happy with this project. Would recommend.

More mole mounds
Would Not RecommendI installed 4 of these in a small yard (overkill) and at first I thought it was working good. A few days after they were installed we got a bunch more mile hole mounds and the spikes are still operating.

Moles and gophers have poor eyesight, so it's not unusual that for a few days after installation they stick around and may even investigate the spike...
Hard to get in the ground
They are to big and needed to make a hole and bury them in. Two days later the moles made holes only 1 ft from the sonic spike.

Thank you for this feedback. Moles may initially dig closer to the device to determine where the sound is coming from. After 6-10 days of continued u...

Victor M9012 2 Mole and vole repellent
Would Not RecommendComplete waste of time and money. There were mole tunnels leading straight toward the device. The implementation procedures were followed as directed and it started to "ping" as soon as I put the batteries in. It just doesn't work.

Victor Mole repellant
Would RecommendI had a serious mole problem in my backyard, so I purchased 4 spikes and I have not seen mole mounds/tracks since the day I put them in the ground. Very good product.

Continuous buzzing
Would Not RecommendSo I got 1 in the ground and the other just keeps buzzing. No pause at all. I have new batteries. Guess I will be pulling out the one I just got in the ground and returning them. Just bought 3 days ago.

Greatest mole ATTRACTOR known to man
Would Not RecommendAfter buying these from Lowes and using them as directed my mole population appeared to have tripled. Not sure of the key to these things - the logic is sound behind the product, but this did nothing to deter these things.
