How to make do-it-yourself moles repellers from plastic bottles and other materials

Wildlife lovers who do not want to destroy ecosystems also suffer from underground diggers - moles. But what to do if you do not want to kill the animal, but there is no time to evict the “guest” from the 101st kilometer? You can try to scare away moles from your site instead of trap them. Mole Repeller It is easy to buy in the store, but many gardeners prefer to do it yourself.

Homemade scarers

From which you can make a mole repeller with your own hands:

• plastic bottles;
• cans;
• electric alarm clocks;
• radio and speakers.

The first three types of repellents do not require any special knowledge or skills. From plastic bottles, the maximum number of different repellents was invented.

Variants of plastic bottles

The simplest version of a homemade repeller is a bottle worn on a pin. Suitable for empty beer cans. The pin needs to be stuck in the ground so that sound and vibration are transmitted into mole passages.

On a note!

Iron transmits sound better than wood.

The most difficult option - the windmill from moles. For its manufacture will need a 1.5-liter beer bottle.

Important!

The bottle must be a “classic” beer form. That is, with a narrow elongated neck.

In addition to the bottle, you need good scissors, a marker, a self-tapping screw with thread not reaching the cap, a nail, an awl and a stick for a windmill. With the maximum complexity of creating such a mole scarer from a plastic bottle, there are no visual diagrams and drawings. There is only an extremely clear video.

1. The bottom of the bottle is cut off along the horizontal line that is on all plastic bottles.
2. The cut bottom is turned upside down. The bottom has the shape of a five-beam star. Marker marks the areas that need to be cut: from the border of the central circle strictly in the middle of the "beam" and from the middle of the central circle in the hollow between the "rays". This part also needs to be cut off. It turns out that cut half the "beam".
3. The operation is repeated on all the "rays". The propeller is ready. It remains only to punch a hole strictly in the center of the circle. The hole should be with ideally smooth edges and a diameter larger than the provided self-tapping screw.
4. Insert the screw into the propeller with the cap “inward” and screw it in the center of the bottle cap until the thread runs out. To facilitate the task of screwing in the cap, you must first make a small hole. On the inside of the lid, the screw can be secured with a nut for reliability.
5. At the bottom of the bottle neck, strictly along the center line, make two holes for the nail. Holes must be strictly opposite each other.
6. Take the windmill almost ready and fasten it on a wooden pole.Stick in the ground in the garden.

When the wind propeller produces a rather nasty crackling, which are afraid of moles. The advantages of a windmill are that it will work in any direction of the wind. In fact, this is a common weather vane.

Simplify your life and get the mole out of the garden not difficult. To do this, you must make a turntable from a plastic bottle to scare away moles without any frills, mounted on the pin. The scheme of such a turntable below.

To enhance the effect, a metal pipe is buried in the ground below the mole paths. A pin with a ratchet from moles is lowered into this tube and the pin is fixed in the tube so that it does not dangle. The spinner works almost like a windmill, but it depends on the direction of the wind. Sometimes the wind can not rotate the repeller, if the direction of the air masses is different.

Tin Repellers

Tin Repellers

Favorite pastime in the country - to drink beer. And after the beer there are a lot of jars. They can be used to make beer can repeller.

The simplest option: put the jar on the metal pin. Light tin will sway in the gusts of wind and knock on the pin. Slightly more difficult: to hang the banks on the plot on the ropes so that they knock on each other. The most difficult option is to make a turntable.

Turntables from this material are small and very light, but sonorous. The pinwheel from a beer can is also made from a plastic bottle: the blades are cut out in it, which are folded out.

A very interesting version of a homemade "tin" repeller in the photo below.

Such a mole repeller already requires certain skills in assembling mechanisms. The upper "bowls" catch the wind and ensure the rotation of the windmill. The pieces of tin tied at the bottom knock on a metal pole dug into the ground.

Alarm clocks

Mole repeller from alarms

It is very easy to make a mole repeller out of ordinary cheap alarm clocks with batteries. On alarm clocks expose a different time call and put the clock in jars with twisted lids. The lids are sealed and the banks are buried in different parts of the garden. Moles do not make an alarm clock sound constantly emanating from the ground and leave the site.

The second option with an alarm clock: place it in a half-meter pipe, dug vertically. Holes are drilled in the lower part of the pipe for better sound propagation. It looks like this pipe.

The alarm clock is fixed on a wire so that it can be easily reached.

On a note!

Of all the mole scarers, alarm clocks are one of the most effective ways. It is better only to repeller from the radio and speakers, but this type requires special knowledge.

Speakers and receiver

Long wires are connected to old speakers and placed in a specially prepared plastic bottle. All openings are sealed. The wires from the speakers attached to the old receiver. The speakers are buried in the ground and turn on the receiver.

Comparison of homemade and industrial scarers

From industrial mole repellers, ultrasound is the most popular. But according to reviews, not all of them are effective. Negative comments about ultrasonic mole repeller Russian production and praise the Japanese.

According to homemade repellents, they note that moles are little afraid of wind turbines and windmills, sometimes setting up a hole right next to the pin. Ringing alarms or the constant reproduction of the animals of modern music effectively get rid of moles from the site.
